Note 1 – Orga nization and Business Operations
InPoint Commercial Real Estate Income, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Maryland on September 13, 2016 to originate, acquire and manage a diversified portfolio of commercial real estate (“CRE”) investments primarily comprised of (i) CRE debt, including (a) primarily floating-rate first mortgage loans, and (b) subordinate mortgage and mezzanine loans, and participations in such loans and (ii) floating-rate CRE securities, such as commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”), and senior unsecured debt of publicly traded real estate investment trusts (“REITs”). Substantially all of the Company’s business is conducted through InPoint REIT Operating Partnership, LP (the “Operating Partnership”), a Delaware limited partnership. The Company is the sole general partner and directly or indirectly holds all of the limited partner interests in the Operating Partnership. The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
The Company is externally managed by Inland InPoint Advisor, LLC (the “Advisor”), a Delaware limited liability company formed in August 2016 that is a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of Inland Real Estate Investment Corporation (“IREIC”), a member of The Inland Real Estate Group of Companies, Inc. The Advisor is responsible for coordinating the management of the day-to-day operations and originating, acquiring and managing the Company’s CRE investment portfolio, subject to the supervision of the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”). The Advisor performs its duties and responsibilities as the Company’s fiduciary pursuant to an amended and restated advisory agreement dated July 1, 2021 among the Company, the Advisor and the Operating Partnership (the “Advisory Agreement”).
The Advisor has delegated certain of its duties to SPCRE InPoint Advisors, LLC (the “Sub-Advisor”), a Delaware limited liability company formed in September 2016 that is a wholly owned subsidiary of Sound Point CRE Management, LP, pursuant to a second amended and restated sub-advisory agreement between the Advisor and the Sub-Advisor dated July 1, 2021. Among other duties, the Sub-Advisor has the authority to identify, negotiate, acquire and originate the Company’s investments and provide portfolio management, disposition, property management and leasing services to the Company. Notwithstanding such delegation to the Sub-Advisor, the Advisor retains ultimate responsibility for the performance of all the matters entrusted to it under the Advisory Agreement, including those duties which the Advisor has not delegated to the Sub-Advisor, such as (i) valuation of the Company’s assets and calculation of the Company’s net asset value (“NAV”); (ii) management of the Company’s day-to-day operations; (iii) preparation of stockholder reports and communications and arrangement of the Company’s annual stockholder meetings; and (iv) monitoring the Company’s ongoing compliance with the REIT qualification requirements for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
On October 25, 2016, the Company commenced a private offering (the “Private Offering”) of up to $500,000 in shares of Class P common stock (“Class P Shares”). The Company issued 10,258,094 Class P Shares in the Private Offering, resulting in gross proceeds of $276,681 and terminated the Private Offering on June 28, 2019.
On March 22, 2019, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-11 (File No. 333-230465) (the “2019 Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to register up to $2,350,000 in shares of common stock (the “IPO”).
On May 3, 2019, the SEC declared the 2019 Registration Statement effective, and the Company commenced the IPO. The purchase price per share for each class of common stock in the IPO (Class A, Class I, Class D, Class S and Class T) varied and generally equaled the prior month’s NAV per share, as determined monthly, plus applicable upfront selling commissions and dealer manager fees. Inland Securities Corporation (the “Dealer Manager”), an affiliate of the Advisor, served as the Company’s exclusive dealer manager for the IPO on a best efforts basis.
On September 22, 2021, the Company completed an underwritten public offering of 3,500,000 shares of its 6.75% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), with a liquidation preference of $25.00 per share (the “Preferred Stock Offering”). In addition, on October 15, 2021, Raymond James & Associates, Inc., as a representative of the underwriters, partially exercised their over-allotment option to purchase an additional 100,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock. The Series A Preferred Stock were issued and sold pursuant to an effective registration statement on Form S-11 (File No. 333-258802) filed with the SEC. The Company received net proceeds in the Preferred Stock Offering of $86,310, after underwriter’s discount and issuance costs, and contributed the net proceeds to the Operating Partnership in exchange for an equivalent number of Series A units in the Operating Partnership (with economic terms that mirror those of the Series A Preferred Stock). For more information on the Preferred Stock Offering, see “Note 6 – Stockholders’ Equity.”
On April 28, 2022, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-11 (File No. 333-264540) (the “2022 Registration Statement”) with the SEC to register up to $2,200,000 in shares of common stock, which was declared effective by the SEC on November 2, 2022 (the “Second Public Offering” and collectively with the IPO, the “Public Offerings”).
In light of the pace of fundraising in the Second Public Offering and the amount of monthly redemption requests pursuant to the share repurchase plan (the “SRP”), which were in excess of such fundraising, on January 30, 2023, the Board approved, effective immediately, the suspension of the operation of the SRP. In connection with such suspension, the Board also approved the suspension of the sale of shares in the primary portion of the Second Public Offering (the “Primary Offering”), effective immediately, and the suspension of the sale of shares pursuant to the distribution reinvestment plan (the “DRP”), effective as of February 10, 2023. The Primary Offering, the SRP, and the DRP shall each remain suspended unless and until such time as the Board approves their resumption.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Disclosures discussing all significant accounting policies are set forth in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, as filed with the SEC on March 15, 2024 (the “Annual Report”), under the heading “Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.” See below for discussion of changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Basis of Accounting
The accompanying consolidated financial statements and related footnotes have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reported periods. Actual results could differ from such estimates.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are normal and recurring in nature, necessary for fair financial statement presentation.
Real Estate Owned
Real estate owned (“REO”) represents real estate acquired by the Company through foreclosure, deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, or purchase. For real estate acquired by the Company through foreclosure or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, REO assets are recorded at fair value at acquisition and are presented net of accumulated depreciation. For real estate acquired through purchase, REO assets are recorded at cost at acquisition and are presented net of accumulated depreciation.
REO assets are depreciated using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of up to 40 years for buildings and improvements and up to 15 years for furniture, fixtures and equipment. Renovations and/or replacements that improve or extend the life of the REO asset are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives.
Assets and liabilities acquired typically include land, building and site improvements and identified intangible assets and liabilities, consisting of the value of above-market and below-market leases and the value of in-place leases. The portion of the acquisition price allocated to above-market lease values is included in acquired lease intangible assets, net and is amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the related lease as a reduction to rental income. The portion allocated to below-market lease values is included in acquired lease intangible liabilities, net and is amortized as an increase to rental income over the term of the lease including any renewal periods with fixed rate renewals. The portion of the acquisition price allocated to acquired in-place lease value is included in acquired lease intangible assets, net and is amortized on a straight-line basis over the acquired leases’ remaining terms.
For the Company’s office properties, revenue from real estate is primarily comprised of rental income, including base rent and reimbursements of property operating expenses. For leases that have fixed and measurable base rent escalations, the Company recognizes base rent on a straight-line basis over the non-cancelable lease terms. The difference between such rental income earned and the cash rent amount is recorded as straight-line rent receivable and presented within prepaid expenses and other assets on the consolidated balance sheets. Reimbursement of property operating expenses arises from tenant leases which provide for the recovery of certain operating expenses and real estate taxes of the respective property. This revenue is accrued in the same periods as the expenses are incurred. Revenue and expenses are presented in the consolidated statements of income as “Revenue from real estate” and expenses are included in the “Real estate operating expenses,” as applicable.
Prior to September 28, 2023, the Company owned a hotel property classified as REO. Revenue from real estate also consists of revenue associated with the operations of the hotel property. Revenue from the operation of the hotel property was recognized when guestrooms were occupied, services had been rendered or fees had been earned. Revenues were recorded net of any discounts and sales and other taxes collected from customers. Revenues consisted of room sales, food and beverage sales and other hotel revenues. The Company sold the hotel on September 28, 2023.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
Cash and cash equivalents include funds on deposit with financial institutions, including demand deposits with financial institutions with original maturities of three months or less. The account balance may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance coverage limits and, as a result, there could be a concentration of credit risk related to amounts on deposit in excess of FDIC insurance coverage limits. The Company believes that the risk will not be significant, as the Company does not anticipate the financial institutions’ non-performance.
Restricted cash represents cash the Company is required to hold in a segregated account as additional collateral on real estate securities repurchase agreements. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, no restricted cash was held by the Company.
Allowance for Credit Losses
On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (“ASU 2016-13”), which requires companies to estimate a current expected credit loss (“CECL”) for the recognition of credit losses on financial instruments, including commercial mortgage loans, in their consolidated financial statements. The allowance for credit losses is adjusted each period for changes in expected credit losses. This replaces prior GAAP which required losses to be recognized as incurred. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 using the modified retrospective method, therefore, the results for reporting periods prior to January 1, 2023 remain unadjusted and reported in accordance with previously applicable GAAP. In connection with the adoption of ASU 2016-13, the Company recorded a $5,122 increase to accumulated deficit with offsets on the consolidated balance sheet as noted below.
The following table illustrates the impact of adoption ASU 2016-13:
| As Reported Under ASU 2016-13 | As Reported Pre-Adoption | Impact of Adoption | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Assets: | |||
| Allowance for credit losses | $8,375 | $3,588 | $4,787 |
| Liabilities: | |||
| Accrued expenses and other liabilities | $8,187 | $7,852 | $335 |
The allowance for credit losses is recorded in accordance with ASU 2016-13, and is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of loans held-for-investment on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Changes to the allowance for credit losses are recognized through net income (loss) on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. The allowance is based on relevant information about past events, including historical loss experience, current portfolio, market conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts for the duration of each respective loan. All loans held-for-investment within the Company’s portfolio have some amount of expected loss to reflect the GAAP principal underlying the CECL model that all loans have some inherent risk of loss, regardless of credit quality, subordinate capital or other mitigating factors.
The Company’s loans typically include commitments to fund incremental proceeds to its borrowers over the life of the loan. Those future funding commitments are also subject to an allowance for credit losses. The allowance for credit losses related to future loan fundings is recorded as a component of “Accrued expenses and other liabilities” on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, and not as an offset to the related loan balance. This allowance for credit losses is estimated using the same process outlined below for the
Company’s outstanding loan balances, and changes in this component of the allowance for credit losses similarly flow through the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.
The allowance for credit losses is estimated on a quarterly basis and represents management’s estimates of current expected credit losses in the Company’s investment portfolio. Pools of loans with similar risk characteristics are collectively evaluated while loans that no longer share risk characteristics with loan pools are evaluated individually. Estimating an allowance for credit losses is inherently subjective, as it requires management to exercise significant judgment in establishing appropriate factors used to determine the allowance and a variety of subjective assumptions, including (i) determination of relevant historical loan loss data sets, (ii) the expected timing and amount of future loan fundings and repayments, (iii) the current credit quality of loans and operating performance of loan collateral and the Company’s expectations of performance, and (iv) selecting the forecast for macroeconomic conditions.
The Company estimates the analytical portion of its allowance for credit losses by using a probability-weighted quantitative analytical model that considers the likelihood of default and loss-given-default for each individual loan. The analytical model incorporates a third-party licensed database for over 100,000 commercial real estate loans. The Company licenses certain macroeconomic financial forecasts from a third-party to inform its view of the potential future impact that broader macroeconomic conditions may have on the performance of the loans held-for-investment. These macroeconomic factors include unemployment rates, interest rates, price indices for commercial property and other factors. The Company may use one or more of these forecasts in the process of estimating its allowance for credit losses. Selection of these economic forecasts requires significant judgment about future events that, while based on the information available to the Company as of the balance sheet date, are ultimately unknowable with certainty, and the actual economic conditions impacting the Company’s portfolio could vary significantly from the estimates the Company made for the periods presented. Significant inputs to the Company’s estimate of the allowance for credit losses include the reasonable and supportable forecast period and loan specific factors such as debt service coverage ratio, or DSCR, loan-to-value ratio, or LTV, remaining contractual loan term, property type and others. In addition, the Company also considers relevant loan-specific qualitative factors to estimate its allowance for credit losses.
Accounting Pronouncements Recently Issued but Not Yet Effective
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires a public entity to disclose significant segment expenses and other segment items on an annual and interim basis and to provide in interim periods all disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets that are currently required annually. Public entities with a single reportable segment are required to provide the new disclosures and all the disclosures required under ASC 280. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented in the financial statements, unless it is impracticable. The Company has not early adopted ASU 2023-07. The Company continues to evaluate this guidance and expects the standard to impact its disclosures pertaining to having a single reportable segment but does not anticipate the guidance to have an impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. ASU 2023-09 improves the transparency of income tax disclosures related to rate reconciliation and income taxes. ASU 2023-07 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The amendments should be applied prospectively, however retrospective application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2023-09 on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Credit Characteristics
As part of the Company’s process for monitoring the credit quality of its investments, it performs a quarterly asset review of the investment portfolio and assigns risk ratings to each of its loans and certain securities it may own, such as CMBS. Risk factors include payment status, lien position, borrower financial resources and investment in collateral, collateral type, project economics and geographic location, as well as national and regional economic factors. To determine the likelihood of loss, the loans are rated on a 5-point scale as follows:
| InvestmentGrade | Investment Grade Definition |
| 1 | Investment exceeding fundamental performance expectations and/or capital gain expected. Trends and risk factors since time of investment are favorable. |
| 2 | Performing consistent with expectations and a full return of principal and interest expected. Trends and risk factors are neutral to favorable. |
| 3 | Performing investment requiring closer monitoring. Trends and risk factors show some deterioration. Collection of principal and interest is still expected. |
| 4 | Underperforming investment with the potential of some interest loss but still expecting a positive return on investment. Trends and risk factors are negative. |
| 5 | Underperforming investment with expected loss of interest and some principal. |
All investments are assigned an initial risk rating of 2 at origination or acquisition.
As of September 30, 2024,17 loans had a risk rating of 2, seven had a risk rating of 3, four had a risk rating of 4 andtwo had a risk rating of 5. As of December 31, 2023,24 loans had a risk rating of 2, seven had a risk rating of 3, three had a risk rating of 4 andtwo had a risk rating of 5.

Loan Modifications
The Company may amend or modify a loan based on its specific facts and circumstances. These modifications are often in the form of a term extension to provide the borrower additional time to refinance or sell the collateral property in order to repay the principal balance of the loan. Such extensions are generally made at the loan’s contractual interest rate and may require an extension fee be paid to the Company. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company made no such modifications which are disclosable under ASU 2022-02, Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures(“ASU 2022-02”). During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company made one such modification which is disclosable under ASU 2022-02, as it was considered an other-than-insignificant payment delay for a borrower experiencing financial difficulty. In this instance, the Company granted a two-year term extension, which can be further extended by one year subject to certain terms and conditions, for a senior loan secured by an office property located in Charlotte, NC described above. The Company waived maturity default interest of $738 on the loan. No principal was forgiven as a result of the modification. The modification provides for payment-in-kind of any accrued interest that exceeds a per annum rate of 4%. The loan’s modified terms were included in the determination of the CECL reserve. The loan had an amortized cost basis of $22,897, representing 3.6% of the Company’s commercial mortgage loans as of September 30, 2024. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company made no such modifications which are disclosable under ASU 2022-02.
Note 4 – Repurchase Agreements and Credit Facilities
Commercial Mortgage Loans
On February 15, 2018, the Company, through a wholly owned subsidiary, entered into a master repurchase agreement (the “Atlas Repo Facility”) with Column Financial, Inc. as administrative agent for certain of its affiliates. As the Company’s business has grown, it has increased the borrowing limit and extended the maturity. The most recent extension was in November 2023 for a twelve-month term and the maximum advance amount was reduced to $100,000. On February 8, 2023, Column Financial, Inc. and affiliated parties sold andassigned their interest in the Atlas Repo Facility to Atlas Securitized Products Investments 2, L.P. (“Atlas”) with no changes to the terms of the Atlas Repo Facility. Advances under the Atlas Repo Facility accrue interest at a per annum annual rate equal to SOFR plus 2.50% to 3.00% with a 0.15% to 0.25% floor. The Company paid off the outstanding balance on the Atlas Repo Facility in May 2023 and hadno outstanding balance as of September 30, 2024. As there were no borrowings outstanding, the Company was not subject to any financial covenants.
On May 6, 2019, the Company, through a wholly owned subsidiary, entered into an uncommitted master repurchase agreement (the “JPM Repo Facility”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association (“JPM”). The JPM Repo Facility provides up to $150,000 in advances that the Company expects to use to finance the acquisition or origination of eligible loans and participation interests therein. Advances made prior to December 2021 under the JPM Repo Facility accrue interest at per annum rates equal to the sum of (i) the applicable one-month USD London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) index rate plus (ii) a margin of between 1.75% to 2.50% with no floor, depending on the attributes of the purchased assets. Advances made subsequent to December 2021 under the JPM Repo Facility accrue interest at per annum rates equal to the sum of SOFR plus an agreed upon margin. As of September 30, 2024, all of the advances made under the JPM Repo Facility were indexed to SOFR and have margins between 1.85% and 2.85% with a floor between 0.00% to 2.00%. In May 2022, the maturity date of the JPM Repo Facility was extended to May 6, 2023. On May 5, 2023, the Company entered into an amendment that extended the maturity date to May 6, 2026, with the option to extend the maturity date further to May 6, 2028 subject totwo optional one-year extensions. The amendment also increased the maximum facility amount to $526,076. The Company used the increased capacity to pay off the balance on the Atlas Repo Facility. The JPM Repo Facility is subject to certain financial covenants. The Company was in compliance with all financial covenant requirements as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
On March 10, 2021, the Company, through a wholly owned subsidiary, entered into a loan and security agreement and a promissory note (collectively, the “WA Credit Facility”) with Western Alliance Bank (“Western Alliance”). The WA Credit Facility provides for loan advances up to the lesser of $75,000 or the borrowing base. The borrowing base consists of eligible assets pledged to and accepted by Western Alliance in its discretion up to the lower of (i)60% to 70% of loan-to-unpaid balance or (ii)45% to 50% of the loan-to-appraised value (depending on the property type underlying the asset, for both (i) and (ii)). Assets that would otherwise be eligible become ineligible after being pledged as part of the borrowing base for 36 months. Advances under the WA Credit Facility accrue interest at an annual rate equal to one-month LIBOR plus 3.25% with a floor of 0.75%. The initial maturity date of the WA Credit Facility was March 10, 2023. On March 9, 2023, the Company extended the maturity date of the WA Credit Facility to March 10, 2025, modified that loan advances are up to the lesser of $40,000 or the borrowing base, and changed the index rate from LIBOR to SOFR. In addition, the spread increased to 3.50% and the floor to 2.50%. The Company has an option to convert the loan made pursuant to the WA Credit Facility upon its initial maturity to a term loan with the same interest rate and floor and a maturity oftwo years in exchange for, among other things, a conversion fee of 0.25% of the outstanding amount at the time of conversion. The WA Credit Facility requires maintenance of an average unrestricted aggregate deposit account balance with Western Alliance of not less than $3,750, until the calendar quarter ending on June 30, 2023 and not less than $5,000 commencing with the calendar quarter ending on September 30, 2023. Failure to meet the minimum deposit balance will result in, among other things, the interest rate of the WA Credit Facility increasing by 0.50% per annum for each quarter in which the compensating balances are not maintained. The Company paid off the outstanding balance on the WA Credit Facility in May 2024 and hadno outstanding balance as of September 30, 2024. As there were no borrowings outstanding, the Company was not subject to any financial covenants.
The JPM Repo Facility, Atlas Repo Facility and WA Credit Facility (collectively, the “Facilities”) are used to finance eligible loans and each act in the manner of a revolving credit facility that can be repaid as the Company’s assets are paid off and re-drawn as advances against new assets.

Note 5 – Loan Participations Sold, Net
On November 15, 2021, the Company sold a non-recourse senior participation interest innine first mortgage loans to a third party. Under the loan participation agreement, in the event of default by the underlying mortgagor, any amounts paid are first allocated to the third party before any amounts are allocated to the Company’s subordinate interest. The Company, as the directing participant in the loan participation agreement, is entitled to exercise, without the consent of the third party, each of the consent approval and control rights under the applicable underlying mortgage loan documents with a few exceptions. The Company requires the third party’s approval for any modification or amendment to the loan, a bankruptcy plan for an underlying mortgagor where the third party would incur an out-of-pocket loss, or any transfer of the underlying mortgaged property if the Company’s approval is required by the underlying mortgage documents. The Company remains the directing participant unless certain conditions are met related to losses on the property or if the mortgagor is an affiliate of the Company. In the former case, the Company may post cash or short-term U.S. government securities as collateral to retain the rights of the directing participant.
The third party, as the senior participation interest holder, receives interest and principal payments from the borrower until they receive the amounts to which they are entitled. All expenses or losses on the underlying mortgages are allocated first to the Company and then to the third party. If the underlying mortgage is in default, the Company will have the option to purchase the third party’s participation interest and remove it from the loan participation agreement.
The financing or transfer of a portion of a loan by the non-recourse sale of a senior interest in the loan through a participation agreement generally does not qualify as a sale under GAAP. Therefore, in this instance, the Company presents the whole loan as an asset and the loan participation sold as a liability on the consolidated balance sheet until the loan is repaid. The obligation to pay principal and interest on these liabilities is generally based on the performance of the related loan obligation. The gross presentation of loan participations sold does not impact stockholders’ equity or net income.
On July 2, 2024, the Company acquired legal title totwo office properties through non-judicial foreclosure transactions. The underlying loan was subject to the loan participation agreement. Upon foreclosure, the Company is still subject to the participation payments to the third party. Such payments are based on the underlying properties’ net income before depreciation adjusted for any non-cash revenue. If the calculated monthly payment exceeds the interest due under the participation agreement, the excess is paid to the third party and recorded as a reduction of past interest due first and then as a reduction of the principal. If the calculated monthly payment is less than the interest due under the participation agreement, the shortfall is accrued as interest payable. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, the calculated monthly payment was $546 and the interest due under the participation agreement was $360. As a result, the excess of $186 resulted in a paydown of past interest due. The participation payments have been included within interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
The following tables detail the Company’s loan participations sold as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

Note 7 – Net Income Per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders
Basic earnings per share attributable to common stockholders (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the common shares plus common share equivalents. The Company’s common share equivalents are unvested restricted shares. The Company excludes antidilutive restricted shares from the calculation of weighted-average shares for diluted earnings per share. There were zero and 458 antidilutive restricted shares for thethree and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. There were zero antidilutive restricted shares for both thethree and nine months ended September 30, 2023.

The Company reimburses the Advisor, the Sub-Advisor and their respective affiliates for costs and other expenses related to the Public Offerings, provided the Advisor has agreed to reimburse the Company to the extent that the organization and offering expenses that the Company incurs exceeds 15% of its gross proceeds from the Public Offerings.
(2)
For the Public Offerings, the Dealer Manager was entitled to receive (a) upfront selling commissions of up to 6.0%, and upfront dealer manager fees of up to 1.25%, of the transaction price of each Class A share sold in the primary offering, however such amounts may vary at certain participating broker-dealers provided that the sum will not exceed 7.25% of the transaction price; (b) upfront selling commissions of up to 3.0%, and upfront dealer manager fees of 0.5%, of the transaction price of each Class T share soldin the primary offering, however such amounts may vary at certain participating broker-dealers provided that the sum will not exceed 3.5% of the transaction price; and (c) upfront selling commissions of up to 3.5% of the transaction price of each Class S share sold in the primary offering.

All upfront selling commissions and dealer manager fees were reallowed (paid) by the Dealer Manager to participating broker-dealers.
(3)
The Advisor is entitled to receive an advisory fee comprised of two separate components: (a) a fixed component payable monthly and (b) a performance component payable annually. The fixed component of the advisory fee is paid in an amount equal to 1/12 th of 1.25% of the Company’s average NAV for each month, paid monthly in arrears. The performance component of the advisory fee is calculated and paid annually, such that for any year in which the Company’s total return per share exceeds 7% per annum, the Advisor will receive 20% of the excess total return allocable to shares of the Company’s common stock; provided that in no event will the performance fee exceed 15% of the aggregate total return allocable to shares of the Company’s common stock for such year. In addition, if the NAV per share decreases below $25 for any class of shares during the measurement period, any subsequent increase in NAV per share to $25 (or such other adjusted number) will not be included in the calculation of the performance component with respect to that class. The Advisor pays fees to the Sub-Advisor for the services it delegates to the Sub-Advisor or may direct the Company to pay a portion of the fees otherwise payable to the Advisor directly to the Sub-Advisor.
(4)
The Company pays the Advisor all new loan origination and administrative fees related to CRE loans held for investment, to the extent that such fees are paid by the borrower. Pursuant to the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Advisor generally will reallow a portion of loan fees and all administrative fees to the Sub-Advisor.
(5)
Subject to the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. limitations on underwriting compensation, the Company pays the Dealer Manager selling commissions over time as stockholder servicing fees for ongoing services rendered to stockholders by participating broker-dealers or broker-dealers servicing stockholders’ accounts as follows: (a) for Class T shares only,0.85% per annum of the NAV of the Class T shares; (b) for Class S shares only,0.85% per annum of the aggregate NAV for the Class S shares; and (c) for Class D shares only,0.25% per annum of the aggregate NAV for the Class D shares. The Company will cease paying the stockholder servicing fee with respect to any Class T share, Class S share or Class D share held in a stockholder’s account upon the occurrence of certain events. The Company accrues the full cost of the stockholder servicing fee as an offering cost at the time the Company sells Class T, Class S, and Class D shares. The Dealer Manager does not retain any of these fees, all of which are retained by, or reallowed (paid) to, participating broker-dealers and servicing broker-dealers for ongoing stockholder services performed by such broker-dealers.
Expense Limitation Agreement
Pursuant to an expense limitation agreement (the “Expense Limitation Agreement”) dated July 1, 2021, the Advisor and Sub-Advisor agree towaive reimbursement of or pay, on a quarterly basis, certain of the Company’s ordinary operating expenses for each class of shares to the extent necessary to ensure that the ordinary operating expenses do not exceed 1.5% of the average monthly net assets on an annualized basis (the “1.5% Expense Limit”). Amounts waived or paid by the Advisor or Sub-Advisor pursuant to the Expense Limitation Agreement are subject to conditional repayment on a quarterly basis by the Company during thethree years following the quarter in which the expenses were incurred, but only to the extent such repayment does not cause the Company to exceed its then-current expenses limitation, if any, for such quarter. Any waiver or reimbursement by the Advisor or Sub-Advisor not repaid by the Company within thethree-year period will be deemed permanently waived and not subject to repayment under the Expense Limitation Agreement. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the amount of ordinary operating expenses either submitted for reimbursement by the Advisor and Sub-Advisor or incurred by the Company directly that was subject to the Expense Limitation Agreement did not exceed the 1.5% Expense Limit.
Separately from the limitation on ordinary operating expenses under the Expense Limitation Agreement, the Advisor and Sub-Advisor voluntarily chose not to seek reimbursement for certain expenses that they incurred or paid on behalf of the Company during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and for which they may have been entitled to be reimbursed. The Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement provide that expenses will be submitted monthly to the Company for reimbursement, and the amount of expenses submitted for reimbursement in any particular month is not necessarily indicative of the total amount of expenses actually incurred by the Advisor and Sub-Advisor in providing services to the Company and for which reimbursement could have been received by the Advisor and Sub-Advisor.
Revolving Credit Liquidity Letter Agreements
IREIC, the Company’s sponsor, and Sound Point have agreed under separate letter agreements dated July 20, 2021, and July 15, 2021, respectively, to make revolving credit loans to the Company in an aggregate principal amount outstanding at any one time not to exceed
$5,000 and $15,000, respectively (the “IREIC-Sound Point Commitments”) from time to time until the Termination Date (defined below) of the letter agreements. These letter agreements are identical to each other in all material respects other than the commitment amounts. Use of the IREIC-Sound Point Commitments is limited to satisfying requirements to maintain cash or cash equivalents under the Company’s repurchase and other borrowing arrangements. The “Termination Date” is the earliest of (i) the Maturity Date (defined below) (ii) the first date on which the Company’s balance sheet equity is equal to or greater than $500,000, (iii) the date IREIC or one of its affiliates is no longer the Company’s advisor or Sound Point or one of its affiliates is no longer the Company’s sub-advisor and (iv) such earlier date on which the commitment will terminate as provided in the letter agreements, for example, because of an event of default. The “Maturity Date” is one year from the date of the agreement, and the Maturity Date will be automatically extended every year for an additional year, unless (a) the lender delivers notice of termination 60 days prior to an anniversary of the letter agreements or (b) an Event of Default (defined below) has occurred and is continuing. Each revolving loan will bear interest at 6.00% per annum. Interest is payable in arrears when principal is paid or repaid and on the Termination Date. Each of the following constitutes an “Event of Default” under the letter agreements: (y) the Company fails to perform or observe any covenant or condition to be performed or observed under the letter agreement (including the obligation to repay a loan in full on the Termination Date) and such failure is not remedied within three business days of its receipt of notice thereof; or (z) the Company becomes insolvent or the subject of any bankruptcy proceeding.
Note 11 – Equity-Based Compensation
With each stock grant, the Company awards each of itsthree independent directors an equal number of restricted shares. The table below summarizes total stock grants as of September 30, 2024 with a vesting date after January 1, 2023.

Under the Company’s Independent Director Restricted Share Plan (the “RSP”), restricted shares generally vest over athree-year vesting period from the date of the grant, subject to the specific terms of the grant. Restricted shares are included in common stock outstanding on the grant date. The grant-date value of the restricted shares is amortized over the vesting period representing the requisite service period. Compensation expense associated with the restricted shares issued to the independent directors was $8 and $23, in the aggregate, for thethree and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. Compensation expense associated with the restricted shares issued to the independent directors was $7 and $22, in the aggregate, for thethree and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had $60 of unrecognized compensation expense related to the unvested restricted shares, in the aggregate. The weighted average remaining period that compensation expense related to unvested restricted shares will be recognized is 1.29 years. The total fair value at the vesting date for restricted shares that vested during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was $9 andzero, respectively.
A summary table of the status of the restricted shares granted under the RSP is presented below:

Note 12 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments
GAAP requires the disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not they are recognized at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets, for which it is practicable to estimate that value. The following table details the carrying amount and estimated fair value of the Company’s financial instruments at the dates below:
| September 30, 2024 | December 31, 2023 | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CarryingAmount | Estimated FairValue | CarryingAmount | Estimated FairValue | |
| Financial assets | ||||
| Cash and cash equivalents | $58,821 | $58,821 | $54,143 | $54,143 |
| Commercial mortgage loans, net | 639,985 | 639,985 | 722,003 | 722,003 |
| Total | $698,806 | $698,806 | $776,146 | $776,146 |
| Financial liabilities | ||||
| Repurchase agreements — commercial mortgage loans | $418,765 | $418,765 | $457,438 | $457,438 |
| Credit facility payable | — | — | 9,498 | 9,498 |
| Loan participations — sold | 56,322 | 56,322 | 57,226 | 57,226 |
| Total | $475,087 | $475,087 | $524,162 | $524,162 |
The following describes the Company’s methods for estimating the fair value for financial instruments:
The estimated fair values of restricted cash, cash and cash equivalents were based on the bank balance and was a Level 1 fair value measurement.
The estimated fair value of commercial mortgage loans, net is a Level 3 fair value measurement. The majority of the loans are floating rate and as such the interest rates on such loans reflect the current interest rate spreads. Additionally, since the loans have a short duration to maturity (0.5 years), are not delinquent or impaired (except fortwo loans impaired as of September 30, 2024 andtwo loans impaired as of December 31, 2023, for which an asset-specific CECL reserve has been recorded) and are expected to return to par, the Advisor determined the amortized cost, less allowance for credit losses, is the best estimate of fair value for all loans. The allowance for credit losses includes the analytical portion as well as the asset-specific component of the CECL reserve.
For the impaired loans, the CECL reserve was recorded based on the Company’s estimation of the fair value of the loans’ aggregate underlying collateral as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, as applicable. These loans are therefore measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis using significant unobservable inputs and are classified as Level 3 assets in the fair value hierarchy. The Company estimated the fair value of these loans by considering a variety of inputs including property performance, market data, and comparable sales, as applicable. The significant unobservable input used is the exit capitalization rate assumption used to forecast the future sale price of the underlying real estate collateral, which ranged from 5.75% to 8.60% and had weighted average of 6.00%.
The estimated fair values of repurchase agreements – commercial mortgage loans, credit facility payable and loan participations sold are Level 3 fair value measurements based on expected present value techniques. This method discounts future estimated cash flows using rates the Company determined best reflect current market interest rates that would be offered for repurchase agreements, credit facilities and loan participations sold with similar characteristics and credit quality. The carrying value of these instruments approximates fair value as the fair value of these instruments is not materially sensitive to shifts in market interest rates because of the floating interest rates on these instruments.
Note 13 – Real Estate Owned
On July 2, 2024, the Company acquired legal title totwo office properties located in Addison, TX through non-judicial foreclosure transactions. The properties were previously collateralized by a senior loan with an amortized cost basis of $24,411 that was risk rated 5 with a CECL reserve of $281 at the time of the acquisitions. The acquisitions were accounted for as asset acquisitions under ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations, and the Company intends to hold these properties as real estate held for use with the intent to eventually sell when the market improves. The properties were recorded on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet at $24,035 based on the estimated fair value at acquisition. The Company’s fair market value estimate was determined based on appraisals performed by an independent third-party appraiser. The acquisitions resulted in a CECL reserve charge-off of $855 during the three months ended September 30, 2024.
The Company allocated the fair value of the assumed assets and liabilities on the acquisition date as follows:
| Fair Value Allocation | |
|---|---|
| Land | $3,858 |
| Building and improvements | 17,071 |
| Acquired in-place lease value | 3,526 |
| Acquired above-market lease value | 31 |
| Acquired below-market lease value | (451) |
| Total | $24,035 |

Note 14 – Leases
Prior to September 28, 2023, the Company was the lessee under one ground lease. The ground lease, which commenced on April 1, 1999, was assumed as part of the Renaissance O’Hare property acquired through a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure transaction on August 20, 2020. The lease was classified as a finance lease. Upon the sale of the property on September 28, 2023, the Company was no longer obligated under the ground lease.
Upon assumption of the lease on August 20, 2020, the Company recorded a lease liability of $16,827 and a right-of-use asset of $5,549 on its consolidated balance sheet.
