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


Note 1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Tremont Mortgage Trust and its subsidiaries, or we, us or our, are unaudited. Certain information and disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, for complete financial statements have been condensed or omitted. We believe the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. However, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, or our Annual Report.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim period have been included. All intercompany transactions and balances with or among our consolidated subsidiaries have been eliminated. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates in the condensed consolidated financial statements include the fair value of financial instruments.
Note 2. Organization
We were organized as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, under Maryland law on June 1, 2017. On September 18, 2017, we sold 2,500,000 of our common shares of beneficial interest, par value $0.01 per share, or our common shares, at a price of $20.00 per share in our initial public offering, or our IPO. Concurrently with our IPO, we sold an additional 600,000 of our common shares at a price of $20.00 per share to Tremont Realty Advisors LLC, or our Manager, in a private placement. The aggregate proceeds from these sales were $62,000.
Note 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash. We consider highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents.
Restricted cash primarily consists of deposit proceeds from potential borrowers when originating loans, which may be returned to the applicable borrower upon the closing of the loan, after deducting any transaction costs paid by us for the benefit of such borrower.
Repurchase Agreements. Loans financed through repurchase agreements will generally be treated as collateralized financing transactions and will remain recorded in our consolidated balance sheets as assets, and cash received from the purchasers will be recorded in our consolidated balance sheets as a liability. Interest paid in accordance with repurchase agreements will be recorded as interest expense in our consolidated statement of operations.
Loans Held-for-Investment. Generally, our loans will be classified as held-for-investment based upon our intent and ability to hold them until maturity. We expect that loans that are held-for-investment will be carried at cost, net of unamortized loan origination and exit fees that are required to be recognized in the carrying value of the loans in accordance with GAAP, unless the loans are deemed to be impaired. Loans that we have a plan to sell or liquidate will be held at the lower of cost or fair value.
We evaluate each of our loans for impairment at least quarterly by assessing a variety of risk factors in relation to each loan and assigning a risk rating to each loan based on those factors. Factors considered in these evaluations include, but are not limited to, property type, geographic and local market dynamics, physical condition, leasing and tenant profile, projected cash flow, risk of loss, current loan-to-value ratio, or LTV, debt yield, collateral performance, structure, exit plan and sponsorship. Loans will be rated “1” (less risk) through “5” (greater risk) as defined below:
"1" lower risk—Criteria reflects a sponsor having a strong financial condition and low credit risk and our evaluation of management's experience; collateral performance exceeding performance metrics included in the business plan or credit underwriting; and the property demonstrating stabilized occupancy and/or market rates, resulting in strong current cash flow and net operating income and/or having a very low LTV.

4

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

"2" average risk—Criteria reflects a sponsor having a stable financial condition and our evaluation of management's experience; collateral performance meeting or exceeding substantially all performance metrics included in the business plan or credit underwriting; and the property demonstrating improved occupancy at market rents, resulting in sufficient current cash flow and/or having a low LTV.
"3" acceptable risk—Criteria reflects a sponsor having a history of repaying loans at maturity and meeting its credit obligations and our evaluation of management's experience; collateral performance expected to meet performance metrics included in the business plan or credit underwriting; and the property having a moderate LTV. New loans and loans with a limited history will typically be assigned this rating and will be adjusted to other levels from time to time as appropriate.
"4" higher risk—Criteria reflects a sponsor having a history of unresolved missed or late payments, maturity extensions and difficulty timely fulfilling its credit obligations and our evaluation of management's experience; collateral performance failing to meet the business plan or credit underwriting; the existence of a risk of default possibly leading to a loss and/or potential weaknesses that deserve management’s attention; and the property having a high LTV.
"5" impaired/loss likely—Criteria reflects a very high risk of realizing a principal loss or having incurred a principal loss; a sponsor having a history of default payments, trouble fulfilling its credit obligations, deeds-in-lieu of foreclosures, and/or bankruptcies; collateral performance is significantly worse than performance metrics included in the business plan; loan covenants or performance milestones having been breached or not attained; timely exit via sale or refinancing being uncertain; and the property having a very high LTV.
Impairment occurs when it is deemed probable that we will not be able to collect all amounts due under a loan according to its contractual terms. Impairment will then be measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s contractual effective rate and the fair value of any available collateral, net of any costs we expect to incur to realize that value. The determination of whether loans are impaired will involve judgments and assumptions based on objective and subjective factors. Consideration will be given to various factors, such as business plans, property occupancies, tenant profiles, rental rates, operating expenses and borrowers’ repayment plans, among others, and will require significant judgments, including assumptions regarding the values of loans, the values of underlying collateral and other circumstances, such as guarantees, if any. Upon measurement of an impairment, we will record an allowance to reduce the carrying value of the loan accordingly, and record a corresponding charge to net income in our consolidated statement of operations.
As of June 30, 2018, we have not recorded any allowance for losses as we believe it is probable that we will be able to collect all amounts due pursuant to the contractual terms of our loans.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments. Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, Accounting Standards CodificationTM, or ASC, Topic 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with GAAP and expands the required disclosure regarding fair value measurements. ASC Topic 820-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received for a financial instrument in a current sale, which assumes an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. We determine the estimated fair value of financial assets and liabilities using the three tier fair value hierarchy established by GAAP, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. GAAP establishes market based or observable inputs as the preferred source of values followed by valuation models using management assumptions in the absence of market inputs. The three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value are as follows:
Level I—Inputs include quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that we have the ability to access.
Level II—Inputs include quoted prices in markets that are less active or inactive or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.
Level III—Inputs include unobservable prices and are supported by little or no market activity and are significant to the overall fair value measurement.
Loan Deferred Fees. Loan origination and exit fees are reflected in loans held-for-investment, net, in our consolidated balance sheets and include fees charged to borrowers. These fees are amortized into interest income over the life of the related loans held-for-investment.

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

Deferred Financing Costs. Costs incurred in connection with financings are capitalized and amortized over the respective financing terms and are recorded in our consolidated statements of operations as a component of interest and related expenses. At June 30, 2018, we had approximately $683 of capitalized financing costs, net of amortization.
Net Loss Per Common Share. We calculate basic earnings per common share by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. We calculate diluted net loss per share using the more dilutive of the two class method or the treasury stock method.
Revenue Recognition. Interest income related to our first mortgage loans secured by commercial real estate, or CRE, will generally be accrued based on the coupon rates applied to the outstanding principal balance of such loans. Fees, premiums and discounts, if any, will be amortized or accreted into interest income over the remaining lives of the loans using the effective interest method, as adjusted for any prepayments.
If a loan's interest or principal payments are not paid when due and there is uncertainty that such payments will be collected, the loan may be categorized as non-accrual and no interest will be recorded unless it is collected. When all overdue payments are collected and, in our judgment, a loan is likely to remain current, it may be re-categorized as accrual.
For loans purchased at a discount, GAAP limits the yield that may be accreted (accretable yield) to the excess of the investor’s estimate of undiscounted expected principal, interest and other cash flows (cash flows expected at acquisition to be collected) over the investor’s initial investment in the loan. GAAP also requires that the excess of contractual cash flows over cash flows expected to be collected (non-accretable difference) not be recognized as an adjustment of yield, loss accrual or valuation allowance. Subsequent increases in cash flows expected to be collected from such loans generally will be recognized prospectively through adjustment of the loan’s yield over its remaining life. Decreases in cash flows expected to be collected will be recorded as impairment.
Note 4. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
On January 1, 2018, we adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, No. 2014-09 (and related clarifying guidance issued by the FASB), Revenue From Contracts With Customers, which outlines a comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. ASU No. 2014-09 states that “an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.” We have evaluated ASU No. 2014-09 and related clarifying guidance issued by the FASB and determined that interest income and gains and losses on financial instruments are outside of its scope; therefore, the adoption of ASU No. 2014-09 did not have a material impact in our consolidated financial statements.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which requires that entities use a new forward looking “expected loss” model that generally will result in the earlier recognition of allowance for credit losses. The measurement of expected credit losses is based upon historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. ASU No. 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently assessing the potential impact the adoption of ASU No. 2016-13 will have in our consolidated financial statements.
On January 1, 2018, we adopted FASB ASU No. 2016-18, Restricted Cash, which requires companies to show the changes in the total of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. This update also requires a reconciliation of the totals in the statement of cash flows to the related captions in the balance sheet. As a result, amounts included in restricted cash in our condensed consolidated balance sheets are included with cash and cash equivalents in the consolidated statement of cash flows. Restricted cash, which primarily consists of deposit proceeds from potential borrowers which may be returned to the applicable borrower upon the closing of the loan, after deducting any transaction costs paid by us for the benefit of such borrower, totaled $284 as of June 30, 2018. The adoption of this update did not change our consolidated balance sheet presentation.
In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Non-employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which aligns the measurement and classification guidance for share based payments to non-employees with the guidance for share based payments to employees, with certain exceptions. ASU No. 2018-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We

(dollars in thousands, except per share data)

are currently assessing the potential impact the adoption of ASU No. 2018-07 will have in our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Note 5. Loans Held-for-Investment
We originate first mortgage loans secured by middle market and transitional CRE and related instruments which are generally to be held as long term investments.
As of June 30, 2018, we had established a portfolio of investments with a total commitment of approximately $33,302, of which $4,524 remained unfunded. At June 30, 2018, these loans had a total principal balance in loans held-for-investment of $28,778, and a net book value of $28,456, net of deferred fees totaling $322; a weighted average all-in yield, which includes the amortization of deferred fees, of 7.32%; a weighted average coupon rate of 6.63%; a weighted average maximum maturity of 4.9 years, assuming full term extension of all loans; and a weighted average LTV of 75%.
Loan Risk Ratings
We evaluate each of our loans for impairment at least quarterly by assessing a variety of risk factors in relation to each loan and assigning a risk rating to each loan based on those factors. Factors considered in these evaluations include, but are not limited to, property type, geographic and local market dynamics, physical condition, leasing and tenant profile, projected cash flow, risk of loss, current LTV, debt yield, collateral performance, structure, exit plan, and sponsorship.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2018, we originated two first mortgage bridge loans with an aggregate net book value of $28,456. Based on our internal risk rating policy, each of these loans was assigned an acceptable risk rating. We did not have any impaired loans, nonaccrual loans, or loans in default as of June 30, 2018, thus, we did not record a reserve for loan loss.
See Note 3 for a discussion regarding the risk rating system that we use in evaluating our portfolio.
Note 6. Repurchase Facility
On February 9, 2018, one of our wholly owned subsidiaries entered into a master repurchase agreement, or our master repurchase agreement, with Citibank, N.A., or Citibank, for a $100,000 master repurchase facility, or our master repurchase facility, pursuant to which we may sell to Citibank, and later repurchase, floating rate mortgage loans and other related assets, or purchased assets. Our master repurchase agreement expires February 9, 2021, unless terminated earlier according to its terms.
Under our master repurchase facility, the initial purchase price paid by Citibank for each purchased asset is up to 75% of the lesser of the market value of the purchased asset or the unpaid principal balance of such purchased asset, subject to Citibank’s approval. Upon the repurchase of a purchased asset, we are required to pay Citibank the outstanding purchase price of the purchased asset, accrued interest and all accrued and unpaid expenses of Citibank relating to such purchased asset. The price differential (or interest rate) relating to a purchased asset is equal to one month LIBOR plus a premium of 200 to 250 basis points, determined by the yield of the purchased asset and the property type of the purchased asset’s real estate collateral.
In connection with our master repurchase facility, we entered into a guaranty which requires us to pay the purchase price, purchase price differential and any costs and expenses of Citibank related to the facility. This guaranty also requires us to comply with customary financial covenants, which include a minimum tangible net worth, minimum cash liquidity, a total indebtedness to tangible net worth ratio and a minimum interest coverage ratio.
Our master repurchase agreement also contains margin maintenance provisions that provide Citibank with the right, in certain circumstances related to a credit event, as defined in our master repurchase agreement, to re-determine the value of purchased assets. Where a decline in the value of purchased assets has resulted in a margin deficit, Citibank may require us to eliminate such margin deficit through a combination of purchased asset repurchases and cash transfers to Citibank, subject to Citibank's approval.
Our master repurchase agreement provides for acceleration of the date of repurchase of the purchased assets and Citibank’s liquidation of the purchased assets upon the occurrence and continuation of certain events of default, including a change of

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

control of us, which includes our Manager ceasing to act as our sole manager or be a wholly owned subsidiary of The RMR Group LLC, or RMR LLC.
As of June 30, 2018, we had no outstanding balances under our master repurchase facility. In July 2018, we sold to, and committed to later repurchase from, Citibank, two first mortgage bridge loans, with an aggregate principal balance of $28,778, and, as a result, Citibank advanced to us 75% of the aggregate outstanding balance of those loans, or $21,583.
Note 7. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
As of June 30, 2018, the carrying values of certain of our financial instruments, which include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, prepaid expenses, due to related parties, accounts payable, accrued expenses and deposits, approximated their fair values due to the short term nature of these financial instruments.
At June 30, 2018, the estimated fair value of our loans held-for-investment was $28,778, which we estimated using Level III inputs. We estimated the fair values of our loans held-for-investment by using discounted cash flow analysis and currently prevailing market terms as of the measurement date (Level III inputs as defined in the fair value hierarchy under GAAP).
Note 8. Shareholders' Equity
Share Awards
We have common shares available for issuance under the terms of our 2017 Equity Compensation Plan
On March 9, 2018, in accordance with our Trustee compensation arrangements, and in connection with the election of one of our Managing Trustees, we granted 1,500 of our common shares, valued at $13.31 per share, the closing price of our common shares on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC, or Nasdaq, on that day, to the Managing Trustee who was elected as a Managing Trustee that day.
On April 25, 2018, in accordance with our Trustee compensation arrangements, we granted 3,000 of our common shares, valued at $12.61 per share, the closing price of our common shares on Nasdaq on that day, to each of our five Trustees as part of their annual compensation.
Note 9. Management Agreement with our Manager
We have no employees. The personnel and various services we require to operate our business are provided to us by our Manager pursuant to a management agreement, which provides for the day to day management of our operations by our Manager, subject to the oversight and direction of our Board of Trustees.
We pay our Manager an annual base management fee that is equal to 1.5% of our “equity,” as defined. We pay this business management fee in cash quarterly in arrears. Pursuant to our management agreement, we recognized management fees of $222 for the three months ended June 30, 2018, and $447 for the six months ended June 30, 2018. In June 2018, our Manager agreed to waive any business management fees otherwise due and payable pursuant to our management agreement for the period beginning July 1, 2018 until June 30, 2020. In addition, beginning in the fourth quarter of 2018, we may be obligated to pay our Manager an incentive fee if it is earned under our management agreement; however, our Manager has agreed that no incentive fee will be paid or payable by us to our Manager for the 2018 or 2019 calendar years.
Our Manager is responsible for the costs of its employees who provide services to us, including the cost of our Manager’s personnel who originate our loans, unless any such payment or reimbursement is specifically approved by a majority of our Independent Trustees, is a shared services cost or relates to awards made under any equity compensation plan adopted by us. We are generally required to pay or to reimburse our Manager and its affiliates for all other costs and expenses of our operations. Some of these overhead, professional and other services are provided by RMR LLC pursuant to a shared services agreement between our Manager and RMR LLC. We reimburse our Manager for shared services costs our Manager pays to RMR LLC and its affiliates, and these reimbursements may include an allocation of the cost of personnel employed by RMR LLC, with such shared services costs subject to approval by a majority of our Independent Trustees at least annually. We incurred shared services costs of $375 and $750 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively, payable to our Manager as reimbursement for shared services costs it paid to RMR LLC. These amounts are included in shared services

agreement reimbursement in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. In addition, we pay our pro rata portion of internal audit costs incurred by RMR LLC on behalf of us and other public companies to which RMR LLC or its subsidiaries provide management services. We incurred internal audit costs of $27 and $62 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively, payable to RMR LLC. These amounts are included in general and administrative expenses in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Note 10. Related Person Transactions

Note 11. Income Taxes
We intend to elect and qualify for taxation as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the IRC, for U.S. federal income tax purposes commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2017, and to maintain such qualification thereafter. Accordingly, we generally are not, and will not be, subject to U.S. federal income taxes provided that we distribute our taxable income and meet certain other requirements to qualify for taxation as a REIT. We are subject to certain state and local taxes, certain of which amounts are reported as income taxes in our condensed consolidated statement of income. We do not currently expect recent amendments to the IRC to have a significant impact on us; however, we will monitor future interpretations of such amendments as they develop, and accordingly, our estimates and disclosures may change.
Note 12. Weighted Average Common Shares
We calculated earnings per share, or EPS, for the period ended June 30, 2018 using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. When applicable, diluted EPS reflects the more dilutive earnings per common share amount calculated using the two class method or the treasury stock method. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, 599 and 352, respectively, restricted unvested common shares were not included in the calculation of diluted EPS because to do so would have been antidilutive.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following information should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and with our Annual Report.
OVERVIEW (dollars in thousands, except per share data)
We are a REIT that was organized under Maryland law in 2017. We focus on originating and investing in first mortgage loans secured by middle market and transitional CRE. We define middle market CRE as commercial properties that have values up to $75,000 and transitional CRE as commercial properties subject to redevelopment or repositioning activities that are expected to increase the value of the properties.
We completed our IPO on September 18, 2017. We sold 2,500,000 of our common shares at a price of $20.00 per share in our IPO. Concurrently with our IPO, we sold an additional 600,000 of our common shares at a price of $20.00 per share to our Manager in a private placement. The aggregate proceeds to us from these sales were $62,000. Our Manager paid the initial organizational costs related to our formation and the other costs of our IPO and concurrent private placement, including the underwriting discounts and commissions.
Our Manager is an investment adviser registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC. We believe that our Manager provides us with significant experience and expertise in investing in middle market and transitional CRE.
We intend to operate our business in a manner consistent with our intention to elect and qualify for taxation as a REIT under the IRC for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and to maintain our exemption from registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the Investment Company Act.

Our Portfolio
Our portfolio of investments had an aggregate net book value of $28,456 as of June 30, 2018. During the quarter ended June 30, 2018, we funded $28,778 of loans in aggregate.
We evaluate each loan for impairment at least quarterly by assessing the risk factors of each loan and assigning a risk rating between “1” and “5,” from least risk to greatest risk, respectively, based on a variety of factors. For a discussion regarding the risk rating system that we use in connection with our portfolio, see Notes 3 and 5 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2018, we originated two first mortgage bridge loans with an aggregate net book value of $28,456. Based on our internal risk rating policy, each of these loans was assigned an acceptable risk rating. We did not have any impaired loans, nonaccrual loans, or loans in maturity default as of June 30, 2018. See Note 3 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a discussion regarding the risk rating system that we use in evaluating our loans held-for-investment.

This loan bears interest at a variable rate of one month LIBOR plus a premium of 500 basis points payable monthly and an as-is LTV of approximately 80%. This loan also includes a future funding allowance of up to $2,153 for tenant improvements, leasing commissions, marketing and capital expenditures and has a three year initial term and two one year borrower extension options.

This loan also includes a future funding allowance of up to $1,167 for building improvements and leasing capital and has a three year initial term and two one year borrower extension options.
Financing Activities
On February 9, 2018, one of our wholly owned subsidiaries entered into our $100,000 master repurchase agreement with Citibank. As of June 30, 2018, we had no outstanding balances under our master repurchase facility. In July 2018, we sold to, and committed to later repurchase from, Citibank, two first mortgage bridge loans, with an aggregate principal balance of $28,778, and, as a result, Citibank advanced to us 75% of the aggregate outstanding balance of those loans, or $21,583.
For more information regarding our master repurchase facility, see Note 6 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
On July 27, 2018, one of our wholly owned subsidiaries entered into the TCB loan, pursuant to which that subsidiary may borrow up to $32,290. As of July 27, 2018, Texas Capital Bank had advanced to our subsidiary $31,690 under the TCB loan. For more information regarding the TCB loan, see Note 14 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (dollars in thousands)
We originate first mortgage loans secured by middle market and transitional CRE and related instruments which are generally held as long term investments. These assets are classified as loans held-for-investment in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Loans held-for-investment are reported at cost, net of any unamortized loan fees and origination costs as applicable, unless the assets are deemed impaired.
For the three months ended June 30, 2018 we incurred a net loss of $781. We generated interest income of $495 and incurred interest and related expenses of $66, which resulted in $429 net interest income during the quarter ended June 30, 2018. The expenses we incurred during the three months ended June 30, 2018 include management fees and shared services costs of $598 and other general and administrative expenses of $613.
For the six months ended June 30, 2018 we incurred a net loss of $1,730. We generated interest income of $728 and amortization of $103, which resulted in $625 of net interest income during the six months ended June 30, 2018. The expenses

12


we incurred during six months ended June 30, 2018 include management fees and shared services costs of $1,197 and other general and administrative expenses of $1,158.
Our results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 are not indicative of those expected in future periods. In general, we expect that our income and expenses related to our investment portfolio will increase as a result of our future investment activities.
Factors Affecting Operating Results
Our results of our operations are impacted by a number of factors and primarily depend on the interest income from our investments and the financing and other costs associated with our business. Our operating results may also be impacted by general CRE market conditions and unanticipated defaults by our borrowers.
Credit Risk. We are subject to the credit risk of our borrowers in connection with our investments. We seek to mitigate this risk by utilizing a comprehensive underwriting, diligence and investment selection process and by ongoing monitoring of our investments. Nevertheless, unanticipated credit losses could occur that could adversely impact our operating results.
Changes in Fair Value of our Assets. We generally expect to hold our investments for their contractual terms. We will evaluate our investments for impairment periodically. Impairments occur when it is probable that we will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the applicable contractual terms. If we determine that a loan is impaired, we will record an allowance to reduce the carrying value of the loan to an amount that takes into account both the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's contractual effective interest rate and the fair value of any available collateral, net of any costs we expect to incur to realize that value.
Although we generally expect to hold our investments for their contractual terms, we may occasionally classify some of our investments as held for sale. Investments held for sale will be carried at the lower of their amortized cost or fair value within loans held for sale on our consolidated balance sheets, with changes in fair value recorded through earnings. Fees received from our borrowers on any loans held for sale will be recognized as part of the gain or loss on sale. We do not currently expect to hold any of our investments for trading purposes.
Availability of Leverage and Equity. We expect to use leverage to make additional investments that may increase our potential returns. We may not be able to obtain the amount of leverage we desire or its cost may exceed our expectation and, consequently, the returns generated from our investments may be reduced. To continue to grow our portfolio of investments, we may also seek to raise additional equity capital. Our access to additional equity capital will depend on many factors, and we may not be able to raise equity capital in the future.
Market Conditions. Under current market conditions, we believe that we will be able to identify additional attractive financing opportunities by continuing to focus on middle market and transitional CRE loans. We expect that our primary focus will continue to be originating and investing in floating rate first mortgage loans of less than $50,000. We believe that there is currently an imbalance in the CRE debt market that is marked by reduced supply of CRE debt capital and increased demand for CRE debt capital when compared to a decade ago, which is especially pronounced for middle market and transitional CRE, and that this market dynamic creates an opportunity for alternative lenders, like us, to provide CRE debt financing to commercial property owners who in the past have obtained debt financing from historical CRE debt providers, such as banks and insurance companies.
Alternative CRE lenders, like us, generally are able to set their investment goals with significantly less regulatory constraints than historical CRE debt providers, such as banks and insurance companies. This allows alternative CRE lenders to create customized solutions to fit borrowers' specific business plans for the collateral properties. We believe that this flexibility affords alternative lenders, like us, a significant competitive advantage over regulated historical CRE debt providers, especially with regard to middle market and transitional CRE debt financing.
Although a large amount of capital has been raised recently by alternative CRE debt providers, most of this capital has been raised by a small number of firms. We believe that firms raising large amounts of capital generally target large loan investments in order to deploy the capital efficiently, and that most of the capital recently raised for CRE debt financing, including capital raised by many other commercial mortgage REITs, will be used for loan investments of greater than $50,000. We also believe that, since the 2008 global financial crisis, financial institutions and other historical CRE debt providers, such as banks and insurance companies, have increased their focus on investments in lower LTV loans and in stabilized properties. We believe that this market dynamic has contributed to the current supply and demand imbalance for middle market and transitional CRE debt financing.

13


Changes in Market Interest Rates. With respect to our business operations, increases in interest rates, in general, may cause: (a) the interest expense associated with our variable rate borrowings, if any, to increase; (b) the value of our fixed rate investments, if any, to decline; (c) coupons on our variable rate investments, if any, to reset, perhaps on a delayed basis, to higher interest rates; and (d) refinancing by our borrowers to become more difficult and costly, negatively impacting refinancing as a source of repayment for our investments.
Conversely, decreases in interest rates, in general, may cause: (a) the interest expense associated with our variable rate borrowings, if any, to decrease; (b) the value of our fixed rate investments, if any, to increase; (c) coupons on our variable rate investments, if any, to reset, perhaps on a delayed basis, to lower interest rates; and (d) our borrowers' ability to refinance to become easier and more affordable, positively impacting our borrowers' ability to repay our investments.
Size of Portfolio. The size of our portfolio of investments, as measured both by the aggregate principal balance and the number of our CRE loans and our other investments, is also an important factor in determining our operating results. Generally, as the size of our portfolio continues to grow, the amount of interest income we receive will increase and we may achieve certain economies of scale and diversify risk within our portfolio investments. A larger portfolio, however, may result in increased expenses; for example, we may incur additional interest expense or other costs to finance our investments. Also, if the aggregate principal balance of our portfolio continues to grow but the number of our loans or the number of our borrowers does not grow, we could face increased risk by reason of the concentration of our investments.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (dollars in thousands)
Liquidity is a measure of our ability to meet potential cash requirements, including ongoing commitments to repay or meet margin calls resulting from our borrowings, fund and maintain our assets and operations, make distributions to our shareholders and fund other business operating requirements. We will use a significant amount of cash to originate, purchase and invest in our target investments, repay principal and interest on our borrowings, make distributions to our shareholders and fund other business operating requirements. We expect that our sources of cash flows will include payments of principal, interest and fees we receive on our investments, cash generated from our operating results, unused borrowing capacity, including under our master repurchase facility or other repurchase agreements or financing arrangements, bank loans or public or private issuances of debt or equity securities.
We plan to declare and pay our first distribution to common shareholders after successfully deploying the capital raised in our IPO and concurrent private placement consistent with our leverage strategy.
Cash Used in Operating Activities. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, our cash used in operating activities of $1,663 consisted of a net loss of $1,730, partially offset by amortization of deferred financing fees related to our master repurchase facility of $103, share based compensation of $209 and accounts payable and other accrued liabilities of $370. Our cash used in operating activities also consisted of amounts paid to related persons during the six months ended June 30, 2018, but accrued in prior periods, of $528, amortization of loan origination fees of $32, accrued interest receivable of $66 and prepaid expenses and other assets of $11.
Cash Used in Investing Activities. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, our cash used in investing activities consisted of $28,424 of loan originations, offset by deferred fees received on our loans held-for-investment.
Cash Used in Financing Activities. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, our cash from financing activities consisted of the $770 of deferred financing cost payments related to our master repurchase facility.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of June 30, 2018, we had no off balance sheet arrangements that have had or that we expect would be reasonably likely to have a material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
Debt Covenants
On February 9, 2018, one of our wholly owned subsidiaries entered into our $100,000 master repurchase agreement with Citibank. As of June 30, 2018, we had no outstanding balances under, and believe we were in compliance with the terms and conditions of the covenants of, our master repurchase facility. In July 2018, we sold to, and committed to later repurchase from, Citibank, two first mortgage bridge loans, with an aggregate principal balance of $28,778, and, as a result, Citibank advanced to us 75% of the aggregate outstanding balance of those loans, or $21,583. For more information regarding our master repurchase facility, see Notes 6 and 14 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
On July 27, 2018, one of our wholly owned subsidiaries entered into the TCB loan, pursuant to which that subsidiary may borrow up to $32,290. As of July 27, 2018, Texas Capital Bank had advanced to our subsidiary $31,690 under the TCB loan. For more information regarding the TCB loan, see Note 14 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Related Person Transactions

The determination of whether loans are impaired will involve judgments and assumptions based on objective and subjective factors. Consideration will be given to various factors, such as business plans, property occupancies, tenant profiles, rental rates, operating expenses and borrowers&#8217; repayment plans, among others, and will require significant judgments, including assumptions regarding the values of loans, the values of underlying collateral and other circumstances, such as guarantees, if any.

The determination of whether loans are impaired will involve judgments and assumptions based on objective and subjective factors. Consideration will be given to various factors, such as business plans, property occupancies, tenant profiles, rental rates, operating expenses and borrowers&#8217; repayment plans, among others, and will require significant judgments, including assumptions regarding the values of loans, the values of underlying collateral and other circumstances, such as guarantees, if any.

These fees are amortized into interest income over the life of the related loans held-for-investment. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:left;text-indent:24px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Deferred Financing Costs. </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Costs incurred in connection with financings are capitalized and amortized over the respective financing terms and are recorded in our consolidated statements of operations as a component of interest and related expenses. At June 30, 2018, we had approximately $</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">683</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> of capitalized financing costs, net of amortization.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:left;text-indent:24px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Net Loss Per Common Share. </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">We calculate basic earnings per common share by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. We calculate diluted net loss per share using the more dilutive of the two class method or the treasury stock method.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:left;text-indent:24px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Revenue Recognition. </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Interest income related to our first mortgage loans secured by commercial real estate, or CRE, will generally be accrued based on the coupon rates applied to the outstanding principal balance of such loans. Fees, premiums and discounts, if any, will be amortized or accreted into interest income over the remaining lives of the loans using the effective interest method, as adjusted for any prepayments. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:left;text-indent:24px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">If a loan's interest or principal payments are not paid when due and there is uncertainty that such payments will be collected, the loan may be categorized as non-accrual and no interest will be recorded unless it is collected. When all overdue payments are collected and, in our judgment, a loan is likely to remain current, it may be re-categorized as accrual. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:left;text-indent:24px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">For loans purchased at a discount, GAAP limits the yield that may be accreted (accretable yield) to the excess of the investor&#8217;s estimate of undiscounted expected principal, interest and other cash flows (cash flows expected at acquisition to be collected) over the investor&#8217;s initial investment in the loan. GAAP also requires that the excess of contractual cash flows over cash flows expected to be collected (non-accretable difference) not be recognized as an adjustment of yield, loss accrual or valuation allowance. Subsequent increases in cash flows expected to be collected from such loans generally will be recognized prospectively through adjustment of the loan&#8217;s yield over its remaining life. Decreases in cash flows expected to be collected will be recorded as impairment.</font></div></div> <div style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;"><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">Shareholders' Equity</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Share Awards </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:left;text-indent:24px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">We have common shares available for issuance under the terms of our 2017 Equity Compensation Plan</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:left;text-indent:24px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">On March 9, 2018, in accordance with our Trustee compensation arrangements, and in connection with the election of one of our Managing Trustees, we granted </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">1,500</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> of our common shares, valued at </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$13.31</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> per share, the closing price of our common shares on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC, or Nasdaq, on that day, to the Managing Trustee who was elected as a Managing Trustee that day. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:left;text-indent:24px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">On April 25, 2018, in accordance with our Trustee compensation arrangements, we granted </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">3,000</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> of our common shares, valued at </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$12.61</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> per share, the closing price of our common shares on Nasdaq on that day, to each of our five Trustees as part of their annual compensation.</font></div></div> <div style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;"><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">Subsequent Events </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:left;text-indent:24px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In July 2018, we closed a </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$40,363</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> first mortgage bridge loan, of which </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$39,613</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> was funded by us at closing, to finance the acquisition of the Hampton Inn JFK, a </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">216</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">-key, </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">13</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">-story hotel located adjacent to the John F.

The TCB loan is secured by a collateral assignment of the </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$40,363</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> JFK Loan. The TCB loan advances up to </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">80%</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> of the JFK Loan amount from time to time outstanding and matures in July 2021.

Interest on amounts advanced to our subsidiary under the TCB loan is calculated at a floating rate based on one month LIBOR plus a premium of 215 basis points. We may be required to repay a portion of the amount outstanding under the TCB loan to maintain a </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">10.5%</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> debt yield on the net operating income of the underlying hotel. The TCB loan is prepayable in whole at any time without premium or penalty, and provides for acceleration of payment of all amounts due thereunder upon the occurrence and continuation of customary events of default. In connection with the TCB loan, we entered into a guaranty with Texas Capital Bank pursuant to which we have guaranteed </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">25%</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> of the TCB loan amount plus all related interest and costs.
