**ACRES COMMERCIAL REALTY CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES**

**NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

**June 30, 2025**

**(unaudited)**

**NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION**

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

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

The Company conducts its operations through the use of subsidiaries that it consolidates into its financial statements. The Company's core assets are consolidated through its investment in ACRES Realty Funding, Inc. ("ACRES RF"), a wholly-owned subsidiary that holds CRE loans, CRE-related securities and investments in CRE securitizations, which are consolidated as variable interest entities ("VIEs") as discussed in Note 3, and special purpose entities.

**NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES**

**Basis of Presentation**

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. ("GAAP"). In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to fairly present the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

**Principles of Consolidation**

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, majority-owned or controlled subsidiaries and VIEs for which the Company is considered the primary beneficiary. All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

**Use of Estimates**

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and within the period of financial results. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates affecting the accompanying consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, the net realizable and fair values of the Company's investments, the estimated useful lives used to calculate depreciation, the expected lives over which to amortize premiums and accrete discounts, reversals of or provisions for expected credit losses and the disclosure of contingent liabilities.

**Cash and Cash Equivalents**

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase. From time to time, we may have bank balances in excess of federally insured amounts; however, we deposit our cash and cash equivalents with high credit-quality institutions to minimize credit risk exposure.

Restricted cash includes required account balance minimums primarily for the Company's CRE debt securitizations, as well as cash held in various escrow and deposit accounts.

**NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)**

**June 30, 2025**

**(unaudited)**

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

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **June 30,** | **June 30,** |
|  | **2025** | **2024** |
| Cash and cash equivalents | $42747 | $89622 |
| Restricted cash | 2103 | 1971 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash shown on the Company's consolidated statements of cash flows | $44850 | $91593 |

---

**Investments in Real Estate**

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

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Category** | **Term** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Building | 35 to 40 years |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Building improvements | 1 to 39 years |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Site improvements | 10 years |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Tenant improvements | Shorter of lease term or expected useful life |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Furniture, fixtures and equipment | 1 to 12 years |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Right of use assets | 3 to 99 years |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Intangible assets | 3 months to 18 years |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Lease liabilities | Shorter of lease term or expected useful life |

---

**Income Taxes**

The Company recorded a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets (tax effected expense of $20.4 million) at June 30, 2025, as the Company believes it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized. This assessment was based on the Company's cumulative historical losses and uncertainties as to the amount of taxable income that would be generated in future years by the Company's taxable REIT subsidiaries.

**Earnings per Share**

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

**Recent Accounting Standards**

***Accounting Standards to be Adopted in Future Periods***

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued guidance to improve the transparency of income tax disclosures. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 and is to be adopted on a prospective basis with the option to apply retrospectively. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this guidance, however, the Company does not expect a material impact to its consolidated financial statements.

In November 2024, the FASB issued guidance to improve transparency on certain costs and expenses. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and is to be adopted on a prospective basis with the option to apply retrospectively.

**June 30, 2025**

**(unaudited)**

The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this guidance, however, the Company does not expect a material impact to its consolidated financial statements.

**NOTE 3 - VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES**

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

**Consolidated VIEs (the Company is the primary beneficiary)**

Based on management's analysis, the Company was the primary beneficiary of two VIEs at December 31, 2024 (collectively, the "Consolidated VIEs"). In March 2025, the Company exercised the optional redemption on both VIEs.

The Consolidated VIEs are CRE securitizations that were formed on behalf of the Company to invest in CRE whole loans that were financed by the issuance of debt securities. By financing these assets with long-term borrowings through the issuance of debt securities, the Company seeks to generate attractive risk-adjusted equity returns and to match the term of its assets and liabilities. The primary beneficiary determination for each of these VIEs was made at each VIE's inception and is continually assessed. The Consolidated VIEs are accounted for as secured borrowings in accordance with GAAP.

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

Creditors of the Company's Consolidated VIEs have no recourse to the general credit of the Company, nor to each other. During the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company did not provide any financial support to either of its Consolidated VIEs nor does it have any requirement to do so, although it may choose to do so in the future to maximize future cash flows on such investments by the Company. There are no explicit arrangements that obligate the Company to provide financial support to either of its Consolidated VIEs.

**Charles Street-ACRES FSU Student Venture, LLC**

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

**Investments in Unconsolidated Entities (the Company is not the primary beneficiary, but has a variable interest)**

Based on management's analysis, the Company is not the primary beneficiary of the VIEs discussed below since it does not have both (i) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIEs' economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb the losses of the VIEs or the right to receive the benefits from the VIEs, which could be significant to the VIEs. Accordingly, the following VIEs are not consolidated in the Company's financial statements at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The Company continuously reassesses whether it is deemed to be the primary beneficiary of its unconsolidated VIEs. The Company's maximum exposure to risk for each of these unconsolidated VIEs is set forth in the "Maximum Exposure to Loss" column in the table below.

***Unsecured Junior Subordinated Debentures***

The Company has a 100% interest in the common shares of both Resource Capital Trust I ("RCT I") and RCC Trust II ("RCT II"), with a value of $1.5 million in the aggregate, or 3.0% of each trust, at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. RCT I and RCT II were formed for the purposes of providing debt financing to the Company. The Company completed a qualitative analysis to determine whether it is the primary beneficiary of each of the trusts and determined that it was not the primary beneficiary of either trust because it does not have the power to direct the activities most significant to the trusts, which include the collection of principal and interest through servicing rights. Accordingly, neither trust is consolidated into the Company's consolidated financial statements.

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

***65 E. Wacker Joint Venture, LLC***

In March 2024, the Company contributed its interest in an East North Central office property to form a joint venture (the "Wacker JV") with an unrelated third-party (the "Wacker Managing Member") for the purpose of converting the office property to multifamily units. At the date of contribution, the office property had a fair value of $20.3 million. The Wacker Managing Member is responsible for the day-to-day operations of the Wacker JV, but the Company and the Wacker Managing Member must each approve all major decisions related to the operations, financing or disposition of the Wacker JV before any major decision can be taken. The Company accounts for its investment in the Wacker JV as an equity method investment within investments in unconsolidated entities in its consolidated financial statements.

***7720 McCallum JV, LLC***

In September 2024, the Company contributed $574,000 as well as its net interest in a multifamily unit property located in the Southwest region to form a joint venture (the "McCallum JV") with an unrelated third-party (the "McCallum Managing Member"). The McCallum Managing Member is responsible for the day-to-day operations of the McCallum JV. The Company determined the McCallum JV to be a VIE for which it was not the primary beneficiary because it did not have the power to direct the activities most significant to the McCallum JV, as the Company does not have unilateral kick-out rights or substantive participating rights. The Company accounts for its investment in the McCallum JV as an equity method investment within investments in unconsolidated entities in its consolidated financial statements.

Upon formation of the McCallum JV, the McCallum JV took ownership of the multifamily property subject to a related CRE loan payable to the Company which was novated to allow the McCallum JV to replace the original obligor who was experiencing financial difficulty. The $31.5 million CRE loan has an initial maturity date of September 5, 2027 and bears interest at a rate of one-month Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("Term SOFR") and a spread of 2.75%. There were no other changes to the terms of the loan. The McCallum JV also entered into a $1.5 million mezzanine loan commitment with the Company, of which $475,000 was funded at June 30, 2025.

***Pacmulti Affiliates, LLC***

In March 2025, the Company contributed $200,000 as well as its net interest in a multifamily unit property located in the Mid-Atlantic region to form a joint venture (the "Pacmulti JV") with an unrelated third-party (the "Pacmulti Managing Member"). The

Pacmulti Managing Member is responsible for the day-to-day operations of the Pacmulti JV. The Company determined the Pacmulti JV to be a VIE for which it was not the primary beneficiary because it did not have the power to direct the activities most significant to the Pacmulti JV, as the Company does not have unilateral kick-out rights or substantive participating rights. The Company accounts for its investment in the Pacmulti JV as an equity method investment within investments in unconsolidated entities in its consolidated financial statements.

Upon formation of the Pacmulti JV, the Pacmulti JV took ownership of the multifamily property subject to a related CRE loan payable to the Company which was novated to allow the Pacmulti JV to replace the original obligor who was experiencing financial difficulty. The $70.8 million CRE loan has an initial maturity date of May 5, 2030 and bears interest at a rate of one-month Term SOFR and a spread of 3.41%. There were no other changes to the terms of the loan. The Pacmulti JV also entered into a $13.5 million mezzanine loan commitment with the Company, of which $7.3 million was funded at June 30, 2025.

**NOTE 6 - FINANCING RECEIVABLES**

The following table shows the activity in the allowance for credit losses for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and the year ended December 31, 2024 (in thousands):

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **Six Months Ended June 30, 2025** | **Year Ended December 31, 2024** |
| Allowance for credit losses at beginning of period | $32847 | $28757 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;(Reversal of) provision for credit losses | (2497) | 4790 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Charge-offs |  | (700) |
| Allowance for credit losses at end of period | $30350 | $32847 |

---

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recorded a reversal of expected credit losses of $780,000 and $2.5 million, respectively, primarily attributable to improvements in the modeled credit risk of the Company's loan portfolio and loan payoffs, offset by a general worsening in macroeconomic factors.

At both June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company individually evaluated one mezzanine loan for impairment. The loan was collateralized by an office building in the Northeast region and had a principal balance of $4.7 million at both June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The Company fully reserved this loan in the fourth quarter of 2022, and it continues to be fully reserved at June 30, 2025. The loan entered payment default in February 2023 and has been placed on nonaccrual status.

***Credit quality indicators***

*Commercial Real Estate Loans*

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

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

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Risk Rating** | **Risk Characteristics** |
| **1** | &nbsp;&nbsp;• Property performance has surpassed underwritten expectations. |
|  | &nbsp;&nbsp;• Occupancy is stabilized, the property has had a history of consistently high occupancy, and the property has a diverse and high-quality tenant mix. |
| **2** | &nbsp;&nbsp;• Property performance is consistent with underwritten expectations and covenants and performance criteria are being met or exceeded. |
|  | • Occupancy is stabilized, near stabilized or is on track with underwriting. |
| **3** | &nbsp;&nbsp;• Property performance lags behind underwritten expectations. |
|  | &nbsp;&nbsp;• Occupancy is not stabilized and the property has some tenancy rollover. |
| **4** | &nbsp;&nbsp;• Property performance significantly lags behind underwritten expectations. Performance criteria and loan covenants have required occasional waivers. |
|  | &nbsp;&nbsp;• Occupancy is not stabilized and the property has a large amount of tenancy rollover. |
| **5** | &nbsp;&nbsp;• Property performance is significantly worse than underwritten expectations. The loan is not in compliance with loan covenants and performance criteria and may be in default. Expected sale proceeds would not be sufficient to pay off the loan at maturity. |
|  | &nbsp;&nbsp;• The property has a material vacancy rate and significant rollover of remaining tenants. |
|  | &nbsp;&nbsp;• An updated appraisal is required upon designation and updated on an as-needed basis. |

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

For the purpose of calculating the quarterly provision for credit losses under CECL, the Company pools CRE loans based on the underlying collateral property type and utilizes a probability of default and loss given default methodology for approximately one year after which it immediately reverts to a historical mean loss ratio.

Credit risk profiles of CRE loans at amortized cost were as follows (in thousands, except amounts in the footnote):

The Company also entered into a mezzanine loan with a total commitment of $6.0 million. The loan has a fixed rate of 15.00% that accrues and will be due at payoff in January 2026. In connection with the modification, the borrower renewed the interest rate cap. In March 2025, the loan was novated when the Company foreclosed on the mezzanine loan. In connection with the novation, the new loan pays a current pay fixed rate of 5.00% and has a mezzanine loan commitment of up to $13.5 million, of which $7.3 million was funded at June 30, 2025.

These loans were performing in accordance with the modified contractual terms as of June 30, 2025. At June 30, 2025, two of these loans, with a total amortized cost of $124.8 million, had a risk rating of "4" and the other loan, with an amortized cost of $45.4 million, had a risk rating of "3". Loans with a risk rating of "3" and "4" are included in the determination of the Company's general CECL reserves.

***CRE - Term Reinvestment Financing Facility***

In March 2025, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company entered into a master repurchase agreement (the "JPMorgan Chase 2025 Facility") with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. ("JPMorgan Chase") to finance existing CRE loans and the origination of new CRE loans. The JPMorgan Chase 2025 Facility has a maximum facility amount of $939.9 million, provides match term funding, charges interest of one-month Term SOFR plus a 1.75% spread and matures as of the latest maturity date of any purchased asset. The JPMorgan Chase 2025 Facility includes a two-year reinvestment period enabling the reinvestment of principal proceeds from asset repayments into qualifying replacement assets. The reinvestment period for the JPMorgan Chase 2025 Facility ends in March 2027.

In connection with the JPMorgan Chase 2025 Facility, the Company provided "bad act" guaranties pursuant to a guarantee agreement (the "2025 JPMorgan Chase Guarantee") where the Company is liable for 100% of the repurchase price of the purchase assets and JPMorgan Chase's losses, costs and expenses only upon the occurrence of certain customary bad acts. The JPMorgan Chase 2025 Guarantee includes certain financial covenants required of the Company, including required liquidity, required capital, ratios of total indebtedness to equity and EBITDA requirements. The JPMorgan Chase 2025 Facility also includes minimum interest coverage requirements and maximum look through LTV requirements. Also, ACRES RF, the direct owner of the wholly-owned subsidiary borrower, executed a pledge agreement with JPMorgan Chase pursuant to which it pledged and granted to JPMorgan Chase a continuing security interest in any and all of its right, title and interest in and to the wholly-owned subsidiary, including all distributions, proceeds, payments, income and profits from its interests in the wholly-owned subsidiary.

***Unsecured Junior Subordinated Debentures***

During 2006, the Company formed RCT I and RCT II for the sole purpose of issuing and selling capital securities representing preferred beneficial interests.

Third Amended and Restated Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan (the "Omnibus Plan") and the ACRES Commercial Realty Corp. Manager Incentive Plan (the "Manager Plan" and together with the Omnibus Plan, the "Plans").

The Omnibus Plan and the Manager Plan are administered by the compensation committee of the Company's Board (the "Compensation Committee").

See Note 16 for a description of awards made under the Manager Plan.

The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of $585,000 and $1.4 million, respectively, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and $814,000 and $1.3 million, respectively, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 related to restricted stock.

**NOTE 14 - DISTRIBUTIONS**

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

The Company's 2025 distributions are, and will be, determined by the Company's Board, which will also consider the composition of any distributions declared, including the option of paying a portion in cash and the balance in additional shares of common stock.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company did not pay any common share distributions.

**NOTE 17 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS**

The Company had no financial instruments carried at fair value on a recurring basis at either June 30, 2025 or December 31, 2024.

The Company measures the fair value of certain assets on a non-recurring basis when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may be impaired. Adjustments to fair value generally result from the application of lower of amortized cost or fair value accounting for assets held for sale or write-downs of an asset's value due to impairment.

During the three months ended June 30, 2025, the Company reclassified a portion of one loan from CRE whole loans to Loan held for sale. The loan held for sale had an outstanding par balance and a carrying value of $45.8 million. The valuation of the loan fell under Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

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

*CRE whole loans.* The fair values of the Company's loans held for investment are measured by discounting the expected future cash flows using the current interest rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities. Par values of loans with variable interest rates are expected to approximate fair value unless evidence of credit deterioration exists, in which case the fair value approximates the par value less the loan's allowance estimated through individual evaluation. The Company's floating-rate CRE loans had interest rates from 6.13% to 11.38% and 7.13% to 11.63% at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

*CRE mezzanine loans*. The fair value of the Company's mezzanine loans are measured by discounting the expected remaining cash flows using the current interest rates at which similar instruments would be originated for the same remaining maturity. One of the Company's mezzanine loans was fully reserved and had no carrying or fair value at June 30, 2025 or December 31, 2024. Additionally, during the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company originated a mezzanine loan that had a fixed interest rate of 15.00% at June 30, 2025.

*Loan receivable- due from Manager.* Fair value is estimated using a discounted cash flow model.

*Senior notes in CRE securitizations, 5.75% Senior Unsecured Notes and junior subordinated notes.* Fair values are estimated using a discounted cash flow model with implied yields based on trades for similar securities.

*CRE term reinvestment financing facility, Senior secured financing facility, warehouse financing facilities and mortgages payable.* These are variable-rate debt instruments that are indexed to one-month Term SOFR that reset periodically and as a result, their carrying value approximates their fair value, excluding deferred debt issuance costs.

(1)The fair values reflected in the table above represent management's best estimate of the fair value of the financial instruments and have no impact on the Company's performance or cash flows.

**NOTE 18 - MARKET RISK AND DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS**

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

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

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

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

**NOTE 20 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES**

The Company may become involved in litigation on various matters due to the nature of the Company's business activities. The resolution of these matters may result in adverse judgments, fines, penalties, injunctions and other relief against the Company as well as monetary payments or other agreements and obligations. In addition, the Company may enter into settlements on certain matters in order to avoid the additional costs of engaging in litigation. The Company is unaware of any contingencies arising from such litigation that would require accrual or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements at June 30, 2025.

The Company did not have any general litigation reserve at June 30, 2025 or December 31, 2024.

**Other Guarantees**

See description of Mortgages Payable in Note 10.

**Unfunded Commitments**

Unfunded commitments on the Company's originated CRE loans generally fall into two categories: (1) pre-approved capital improvement projects and (2) new or additional construction costs subject, in each case, to the borrower meeting specified criteria. Upon completion of the improvements or construction, the Company would receive additional interest income on the advanced amount. The Company had $77.7 million and $94.0 million in unfunded loan commitments at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

**NOTE 21 - SEGMENT INFORMATION**

The Company's management directs operations on a consolidated basis as a single operating segment, CRE lending operations. The CRE lending operations segment derives its revenues in the United States by originating, holding and managing CRE mortgage loans and related assets. Additionally, the Company may find it in its best interests to foreclose or to accept the deed-in-lieu of foreclosure on certain loans; and if the Company cannot sell the related property, the Company operates the property as real estate owned. The accounting policies of the CRE lending operations segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies.

The chief operating decision maker ("CODM") is the ACRES management committee that includes the principals of the Manager, including the Company's President & Chief Executive Officer. The CODM uses net income, as reported on the Company's consolidated statements of operations, in evaluating performance for the CRE lending operations segment and determining how to allocate resources. Net income is used to monitor budget versus actual results. The CODM also uses net income in competitive analysis by benchmarking to the Company's competitors. The Company's net income is primarily derived through the difference between the interest income earned on our loans and the cost at which the Company is able to finance them. Accordingly, interest expense, as reported on the Company's consolidated statements of operations, is the Company's most significant segment expense. The other significant expenses are general and administrative expenses and provision for credit losses. The measure of segment assets is reported on the consolidated balance sheets as total assets.

**NOTE 22 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS**

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the filing of this report and determined that there have not been any events, other than those described in Note 10, Note 11 and Note 16 that have occurred that would require adjustments to or disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.

**Overview**

We are a Maryland corporation and an externally managed real estate investment trust ("REIT") that is primarily focused on originating, holding and managing commercial real estate ("CRE") mortgage loans and equity investments in commercial real estate properties through direct ownership and joint ventures. Our manager is ACRES Capital, LLC (our "Manager"), a subsidiary of ACRES Capital Corp. (collectively, "ACRES"), a private commercial real estate lender exclusively dedicated to nationwide middle market CRE lending with a focus on multifamily, student housing, hospitality, office and industrial properties in top United States ("U.S.") markets. Our Manager draws upon the management team of ACRES and its collective investment experience to provide its services. Our longer-term objective is to provide our stockholders with total returns over time, including quarterly distributions and capital appreciation, while seeking to manage the risks associated with our investment strategies as well as to maximize long-term stockholder value by maintaining stability through our available liquidity and diversified CRE loan portfolio. Our short-term strategy is to drive book value ("BV") growth by utilizing both our NOL carryforwards of $32.1 million, which may be used over the coming years, and a portion of our net capital loss carryforwards of $121.9 million, which expire on December 31, 2025 (each balance as of June 30, 2025). By retaining future earnings, we can grow our investable base and selectively deploy the anticipated capital growth into new whole loan originations at attractive yields, which we expect will grow our earnings available for distribution.

Currently, markets are grappling with trade tensions, geopolitical tensions, the risk of increased tariffs, inflation and elevated interest rates. These market pressures have caused continued disruption in many market segments, including the financial services, real estate and credit markets and these disruptions have affected the availability and the cost of capital. The increase in the cost of capital is expected to cause dislocations in various investment and financing markets in which we participate as we and other market participants adjust to the new financing environment.

The U.S. Federal Reserve raised the Federal Funds rate by 5.25% in 11 rate hikes between March 2022 and July 2023 to combat inflation. While the U.S Federal Reserve has lowered rates in September, November and December 2024, there is no certainty with respect to the timing and pace of potential future decreases or if such decreases will continue to occur. Interest rates may remain at or near recent highs, which creates further uncertainty for the economy and our borrowers. A rising interest rate environment generally correlates to increases in our net income. However, increases in interest rates may adversely affect our existing borrowers and could lead to nonperformance, i.e. the borrower's inability to pay debt service. Lowering rates and decreasing costs may encourage consumer spending and accelerate corporate profit growth, which may positively impact the collateral underlying our loans and positively impact our borrowers' ability to sell or refinance in the current market; however, lower rates would also correlate to decreases in our net income.

The multifamily real estate market continues to be a competitive market, and as a result of investors' continued confidence in that asset class, the market for those assets continues to experience spread compression on newly originated deals. Furthermore, the office property market continues to experience high vacancies, slower leasing activity and current tenants reevaluate their needs for physical office space due to remote-work trends across the country. These factors, coupled with inflation, historically higher interest

[<u>(Back to Index)</u>](#index_to_quarterly_report)

[<u>(Back to Index)</u>](#index_to_quarterly_report)

rates and dislocations in market liquidity, have converged to create higher levels of uncertainty surrounding property values, which in turn, also negatively impact borrowers' ability and willingness to financially support and standby their investments in their office properties, their abilities to sell or refinance their positions in the current market and ultimately our financial results.

In response, we continue to manage corporate liquidity actively and responsibly, manage our CRE assets through a solutions-based approach with our borrowers and manage our daily operations in light of changing macroeconomic circumstances. Our Manager also continuously monitors for new capital opportunities and selectively executes on agreements that are expected to enhance our returns.

We originate transitional floating-rate CRE loans with a target size between $10.0 million and $100.0 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we originated one new $72.0 million CRE floating-rate whole loan and one new $15.0 million CRE mezzanine loan. Loan payoffs and sales during the six months ended June 30, 2025 were $165.3 million, offset by net funded commitments of $19.3 million, producing a net decrease to the portfolio of $60.2 million. During the year ended December 31, 2024, we selectively originated one floating-rate CRE loan, with a total commitment of $47.9 million. Loan payoffs during the year ended December 31, 2024 were $377.6 million, along with loan foreclosures of $37.7 million, partially offset by net funded commitments of $5.9 million, producing a net decrease to the portfolio of $361.5 million.

Our CRE loan portfolio, which had carrying values of $1.4 billion and $1.5 billion at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, comprised:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• First mortgage loans, which we refer to as whole loans. These loans are typically secured by first liens on CRE property, including the following property types: multifamily, student housing, hospitality, office, self-storage, mixed-use and retail. All but five of our CRE whole loans were current on contractual payments at June 30, 2025.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Mezzanine debt that is senior to borrower's equity but is subordinated to other third-party debt. These loans are subordinated CRE loans, usually secured by a pledge of the borrower's equity ownership in the entity that owns the property or by a second lien mortgage on the property. At June 30, 2025, we had two mezzanine loans included in CRE loans held for investment with a carrying value of $14.4 million. At December 31, 2024, we had one mezzanine loan included in CRE loans held for investment that had no carrying value. This mezzanine loan was not current on contractual payments at both June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

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

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

In a business environment where benchmark rates are increasing significantly, cash flows of the CRE assets underlying our loans may not be sufficient to pay debt service on our loans, which could result in non-performance or default. We partially mitigate this risk by generally requiring our borrowers to purchase interest rate cap agreements with non-affiliated, well-capitalized third parties and by selectively requiring our borrowers to have and maintain debt service reserves. These interest rate caps generally mature prior to the maturity date of the loan and the borrowers are required to pay to extend them. In certain cases, the sponsors will need to fund additional equity into the properties to cover these costs as the property may not generate sufficient cash flow to pay these costs. At June 30, 2025, 62% of the par value of our CRE loan portfolio had interest rate caps or funded debt service reserves in place with a weighted-average maturity of three months.

At June 30, 2025, our par-value $1.4 billion floating-rate CRE loan portfolio had a weighted average benchmark floor of 1.17%. At December 31, 2024, our par value $1.5 billion floating rate CRE loan portfolio had a weighted average benchmark floor of 0.97%. With the historical trend of rising benchmark rates, we have seen the coupons on all of our floating-rate assets and debt rise accordingly. Because we have equity invested in each floating-rate loan, and because in all instances the benchmark interest rates are above our loan floors, the rise in interest rates resulted in an increase in our net interest income, which was offset due to the decrease in our floating-rate CRE loan portfolio. See "Interest Rate Risk" in "Item 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk."

Our portfolio comprises loans with a diverse array of collateral types and locations. Multifamily continues to comprise the majority of our portfolio, with 75.0% of our portfolio allocated to multifamily at June 30, 2025 and 77.4% at December 31, 2024. The following charts show our portfolio allocation at carrying value by property type at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024:

From time to time, we may acquire real estate property through direct equity investments or as a result of our lending activities. We did not acquire any real estate property in the three months ended June 30, 2025.

At June 30, 2025, the net carrying value of our net real estate-related assets and liabilities was $176.8 million on seven properties owned, three of which are included in investments in real estate and four of which are included in properties held for sale on our consolidated balance sheets. The existence of net capital loss carryforwards available until December 31, 2025 allows for potential future capital gains on certain of these investments to be shielded from income taxes or a requirement to distribute under the REIT tax regulations.

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

At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, our financing arrangements were as follows (dollars in thousands):

(1)Represents an asset-specific borrowing.

(2)Our CRE - term reinvestment financing facility provides for a two-year reinvestment period that allows us to reinvest CRE loan payoffs and principal paydown proceeds into the reinvestment facility and pending certain eligibility criteria are met.

(3)Each of our CRE debt securitizations initially provided for a two-year reinvestment period that allowed us to reinvest CRE loan payoffs and principal paydown proceeds into the securitizations, pending certain eligibility criteria are met and rating agency approval is obtained. The reinvestment periods on both our securitizations ended in May 2023 and December 2023, respectively.

We reevaluate our current expected credit losses ("CECL") allowance quarterly, incorporating our current expectations of macroeconomic factors considered in the determination of our CECL reserves. At June 30, 2025, the CECL allowance on our CRE loan portfolio was $30.3 million, or 2.2% of our $1.4 billion loan portfolio. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we recorded a reversal of credit losses primarily attributable to improvements in the modeled credit risk of our loan portfolio and loan payoffs, offset by a general worsening in macroeconomic factors.

At December 31, 2024, the CECL allowance on our CRE loan portfolio was $32.8 million or 2.2% of our $1.5 billion loan portfolio. During the year ended December 31, 2024, we recorded a net provision for credit losses primarily driven by a general worsening of macroeconomic factors over the year as well as an increase in modeled credit risk in our portfolio offset by loan payoffs. We also recorded a charge-off of $700,000 for one CRE whole loan held for sale.

Additionally, the decline in our CECL reserves from our highest reserve balance at June 30, 2020 of $61.1 million, or 3.4% of the par balance of our CRE loan portfolio, to our current reserve balance at June 30, 2025 of $30.3 million, or 2.2% of the par balance of our CRE loan portfolio, has been due to the following: the successful resolution of our individually evaluated loans with specific reserves, the overall newer vintage of our CRE loan portfolio (with only 9.7% of the portfolio, at June 30, 2025, being originated prior to the fourth quarter of 2020) as well as the increased percentage allocation of our CRE loan portfolio to multifamily loans over time. Multifamily loans have historically had the lowest credit losses of any asset class, and our percentage allocation of our CRE loan portfolio to multifamily at carrying value has grown from 58.4% at June 30, 2020 to 75.0% at June 30, 2025.

Common stock book value was $27.93 per share at June 30, 2025, a $0.94 per share decrease from December 31, 2024.

**Results of Operations**

Our net loss allocable to common shares for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was $732,000 or ($0.10) per share-basic (($0.10) per share-diluted) as compared to net income allocable to common shares for the three months ended June 30, 2024 of $1.7 million or $0.22 per share-basic ($0.21 per share-diluted). Our net loss allocable to common shares for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $6.6 million, or ($0.90) per share-basic (($0.90) per share-diluted), as compared to net income allocable to common shares for the six months ended June 30, 2024 of $2.2 million, or $0.29 per share-basic ($0.28 per share-diluted).

*Net Change in Interest Income for the Comparative three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024:*

Aggregate interest income decreased by $12.2 million and $26.1 million for the comparative three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. We attribute the change to the following:

*CRE whole loans.* The decrease of $12.5 million and $26.0 million for the comparative three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was primarily attributable to a decrease in (i) total par value of our CRE portfolio resulting from loan payoffs and foreclosures and (ii) the benchmark rate over the comparative period.

*CRE mezzanine loan.* The increase of $680,000 and $742,000 for the comparative three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was attributable to the origination of our mezzanine loan in March 2025.

*Other.* The decrease of $392,000 and $880,000 for the comparative three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, was primarily attributable to a decrease in (i) restricted cash in our CRE securitizations and (ii) yields on our interest earning money market accounts.

*Net Change in Interest Expense for the Comparative three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024:*

Aggregate interest expense decreased by $10.0 million and $18.2 million for the comparative three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, We attribute the change to the following:

*Securitized borrowings.* The net decrease of $21.0 million and $29.6 million for the comparative three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, was primarily attributable to the redemptions of our ACR 2021-FL1 and ACR 2021-FL2 securitizations and a decrease in the benchmark rate over the comparative periods.

*Senior secured financing facility.* The decrease of $167,000 and $374,000 for the comparative three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, was primarily attributable to a decrease in the benchmark rate over the comparative periods.

*CRE - term warehouse financing facilities.* The decrease of $2.6 million and $3.9 million for the comparative three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, was primarily attributable to paydowns on our borrowings and a decrease in the benchmark rate over the comparative periods.

*CRE - term reinvestment financing facility.* The increase of $13.8 million and $16.0 million for the comparative three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was attributable to the close of our new CRE term reinvestment financing facility.

*Unsecured junior subordinated debentures.* The decrease of $140,000 and $273,000 for the comparative three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, was primarily attributable to a decrease in the benchmark rate over the comparative periods.

Aggregate real estate income and other revenue increased by $3.1 million and $7.1 million for the comparative three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. The increase in the comparative three and six months was attributed to: (i) incremental increase in revenue related to a student housing property that completed construction and became operational in August 2024, (ii) asset acquisitions in the third quarter of 2024 of a multifamily property and an office property through foreclosures, and (iii) increased revenues from two hotel properties that had increased occupancy and rental rates for both the comparative three and six month periods.

The increase in general and administrative expense for the comparative three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was primarily attributable to increased professional services related to (i) audit expenses being accrued monthly, (ii) consent fees paid to prior auditors to reissue their prior year opinion and (iii) an increase in construction consulting fees paid to third parties. Additionally, there was an increase in operating expenses related to initial set-up costs associated with the new financing facility.

*Real estate expenses.* The increase of $3.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and $7.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily related to (i) an increase in expenses related to a student housing property that completed construction and became operational in August 2024, (ii) asset acquisitions in the third quarter of 2024 of a multifamily property and an office property through deed-in-lieu of foreclosure and (iii) an increase in expenses at a hotel property that had an incremental increase in operating expenses and an increase in one-time expenses related to various operating costs.

*Equity compensation - related party.* The decrease of $229,000 for the comparative three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 is primarily related to the acceleration of expense in connection with a board member stepping down. The increase of $109,000 for the comparative six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 is primarily related to shares authorized in May 2024. The expense related to these new shares is higher than if it related to shares nearer to being fully vested.

*Provision for credit losses.* The decrease in the provision for credit losses of $2.1 million and $8.7 million for the comparative three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was primarily driven by a decrease in modeled credit risk for improved property performance, qualitative adjustments to macroeconomic factors and loan payoffs. Please refer to the "Financing Receivables" section for more information on our provision for credit losses.

Aggregate other income decreased $1.4 million and $7.8 million for the comparative three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. We attribute the change to the following:

*Equity in losses of unconsolidated subsidiaries.* The decrease of $628,000 and $1.1 million for the comparative three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, was primarily related to two unconsolidated entity formations after June 30, 2024. These unconsolidated entities had losses for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.

*Gain on conversion of real estate.* The decrease of $5.8 million during the comparative six months ended June 30, 2025, was primarily attributed to the completion of one deed-in-lieu of foreclosure that generated a non-recurring gain of $5.8 million, in the first quarter of 2024, as the fair value of the property exceeded the amortized cost basis of the loans.

*Other income.* The decrease of $797,000 and $828,000 during the comparative three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, was primarily attributed to the reversal of representation and warranty reserves related to a discontinued residential lending business in 2024 that did not occur in 2025.

**Financing Receivables**

Current market conditions have resulted in, and may continue to result in, a dislocation in capital markets, declining real estate values of certain asset classes and increased delinquencies and defaults, resulting in increased loan modifications, increased allowances for credit losses and an increased risk to borrowers of foreclosure actions. We routinely employ rigorous risk management and underwriting practices to proactively evaluate and maintain the credit quality of our CRE loan portfolio and work closely with our borrowers to mitigate potential losses.

The following tables show the activity in the allowance for credit losses for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and year ended December 31, 2024 (in thousands):

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **Six Months Ended June 30, 2025** | **Year Ended December 31, 2024** |
| Allowance for credit losses at beginning of period | $32847 | $28757 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;(Reversal of) provision for credit losses | (2497) | 4790 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Charge-offs |  | (700) |
| Allowance for credit losses at end of period | $30350 | $32847 |

---

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, we recorded a reversal of expected credit losses of $780,000 and $2.5 million, respectively, primarily attributable to improvements in the modeled credit risk of our loan portfolio and loan payoffs, offset by a general worsening in macroeconomic factors.

At both June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we individually evaluated one mezzanine loan for impairment. The loan was collateralized by an office building in the Northeast region and had a principal balance of $4.7 million at both June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. We fully reserved this loan in the fourth quarter of 2022, and it continues to be fully reserved at June 30, 2025. The loan entered payment default in February 2023 and has been placed on nonaccrual status.

***Credit quality indicators***

*Commercial Real Estate Loans*

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

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

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Risk Rating** | **Risk Characteristics** |
| **1** | • Property performance has surpassed underwritten expectations. |
|  | • Occupancy is stabilized, the property has had a history of consistently high occupancy, and the property has a diverse and high quality tenant mix. |
| **2** | • Property performance is consistent with underwritten expectations and covenants and performance criteria are being met or exceeded. |
|  | • Occupancy is stabilized, near stabilized or is on track with underwriting. |

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **3** | • Property performance lags behind underwritten expectations. |
|  | • Occupancy is not stabilized and the property has some tenancy rollover. |
| **4** | • Property performance significantly lags behind underwritten expectations. Performance criteria and loan covenants have required occasional waivers. |
|  | • Occupancy is not stabilized and the property has a large amount of tenancy rollover. |
| **5** | • Property performance is significantly worse than underwritten expectations. The loan is not in compliance with loan covenants and performance criteria and may be in default. Expected sale proceeds would not be sufficient to pay off the loan at maturity. |
|  | • The property has a material vacancy rate and significant rollover of remaining tenants. |
|  | • An updated appraisal is required upon designation and updated on an as-needed basis. |

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

For the purpose of calculating the quarterly provision for credit losses under CECL, we pool CRE loans based on the underlying collateral property type and utilize a probability of default and loss given default methodology for approximately one year after which we immediately revert to a historical mean loss ratio.

Credit risk profiles of CRE loans at amortized cost were as follows (in thousands, except amounts in the footnotes):

During the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, we did not recognize interest income on CRE loans that were placed on nonaccrual status. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we did not recognize interest income on CRE loans that were placed on nonaccrual status. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we recognized interest income of $134,000 on one CRE whole loan that was placed on nonaccrual status.

***Loan Modifications***

We are required to disclose modifications where we determined the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and modified the agreement to: (i) forgive principal, (ii) reduce the interest rate, (iii) cause an other-than-insignificant payment delay, (iv) extend the loan term, or (v) any combination thereof.

During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we did not enter into any loan modifications for borrowers that were experiencing financial difficulty.

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we entered into the following three loan modifications that required disclosure:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•A multifamily loan with an amortized cost of $54.1 million, representing 3.9% of the total amortized cost of the portfolio, was modified to: (i) extend its maturity from June 2025 to June 2026, (ii) reduce its current pay interest rate from one-month Term SOFR plus a spread of 3.70% to one-month Term SOFR plus a spread of 1.70%, and (iii) defer interest of 2.00% that will be due at payoff. In connection with the modification, the borrower funded additional capital into the project for interest reserves to cover debt service.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•A multifamily loan with an amortized cost of $45.4 million, representing 3.3% of the total amortized cost of the portfolio, was modified to: (i) reduce its current pay interest rate from one-month Term SOFR plus a spread of 3.31% to a 5.00% fixed rate and (ii) defer the unpaid interest that will be due at loan payoff. In connection with the modification, the borrower funded additional capital into the project for interest reserves to cover debt service.

[<u>(Back to Index)</u>](#index_to_quarterly_report)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•A multifamily loan with an amortized cost of $70.8 million, representing 5.1% of the total amortized cost of the portfolio, was modified to: (i) extend its maturity from January 2025 to January 2026 and (ii) provide for 2.00% per annum of the interest rate to be deferred until payoff. We also entered into a mezzanine loan with a total commitment of $6.0 million. The loan has a fixed rate of 15.00% that accrues and will be due at payoff in January 2026. In connection with the modification, the borrower renewed the interest rate cap. In March 2025, the loan was novated when we foreclosed on the mezzanine loan. In connection with the novation, the new loan pays a current pay fixed rate of 5.00% and has a mezzanine loan commitment of up to $13.5 million, of which $7.3 million was funded at June 30, 2025.

These loans were performing in accordance with the modified contractual terms as of June 30, 2025. At June 30, 2025, two of these loans, with a total amortized cost of $124.8 million, had a risk rating of "4" and the other loan, with an amortized cost of $45.4 million, had a risk rating of "3". Loans with a risk rating of "3" and "4" are included in the determination of our general CECL reserves.

At June 30, 2025, we had restricted cash of $2.1 million held in escrow for deposits or tax payments at our real estate properties or pledged with minimum reserve balance requirements. At December 31, 2024, we had restricted cash of $890,000 held in escrow for deposits or tax payments at our real estate properties or pledged with minimum reserve balance requirements. The increase of $1.2 million was primarily attributable to an increase in restricted cash held in escrow for tax payments.

**Accrued Interest Receivable**

The following table summarizes our accrued interest receivable at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 (in thousands):

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **June 30, 2025** | **December 31, 2024** | **Net Change** |
| Accrued interest receivable from loans | $19055 | $14642 | $4413 |
| Accrued interest receivable from promissory note, escrow, sweep and reserve accounts | 38 | 13 | 25 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Total | $19093 | $14655 | $4438 |

---

The increase of $4.4 million in accrued interest receivable was primarily attributable to accrued deferred interest on modified loans offset by loan payoffs.

**Other Assets**

The following table summarizes our other assets at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 (in thousands):

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **June 30, 2025** | **December 31, 2024** | **Net Change** |
| Tax receivables and prepaid taxes | $180 | $201 | $(21) |
| Other receivables | 1927 | 2087 | (160) |
| Prepaid expenses | 2783 | 3027 | (244) |
| Fixed assets - non real estate | 306 | 232 | 74 |
| Other assets, miscellaneous | 882 | 853 | 29 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Total | $6078 | $6400 | $(322) |

---

The decrease of $322,000 in other assets was primarily attributable to decreases in other receivables and various prepaid assets held at our real estate properties, offset by amortization.

**Deferred Tax Assets**

At both June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, our net deferred tax asset was zero, resulting from a full valuation allowance of $20.4 million and $20.6 million, respectively, on our gross deferred tax asset as we believed it was more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets would not be realized. We will continue to evaluate our ability to realize the tax benefits associated with deferred tax assets by analyzing forecasted taxable income using both historical and projected future operating results, the reversal of existing temporary differences, taxable income in prior carry back years (if permitted) and the availability of tax planning strategies.

**Derivative Instruments**

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

We terminated all of our interest rate swap positions associated with our prior financed CMBS portfolio in April 2020. At termination, we realized a loss of $11.8 million. At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had a loss of $2.4 million and $3.3 million, respectively, recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss, which will be amortized into earnings over the remaining life of the debt. During each of the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, we recorded amortization expense of $420,000, reported in interest expense on the consolidated statements of operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, we recorded amortization expense of $835,000 and $840,000, respectively, reported in interest expense on the consolidated statements of operations.

At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had unrealized gains of $28,000 and $73,000, respectively, attributable to two terminated interest rate swaps, in accumulated other comprehensive loss on the consolidated balance sheets, to be accreted into earnings over the remaining life of the debt. For each of the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, we recorded accretion income, reported in interest expense on the consolidated statements of operations, of $23,000, to accrete the accumulated other comprehensive income on the terminated swap agreements. For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, we recorded accretion income, reported in interest expense on the consolidated statements of operations, of $45,000 and $46,000, respectively, to accrete the accumulated other comprehensive income on the terminated swap agreements.

The following table presents the effect of derivative instruments on our consolidated statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 (in thousands):

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  |  | **Realized and Unrealized Gain (Loss)** <sup>(1)</sup> | **Realized and Unrealized Gain (Loss)** <sup>(1)</sup> |

| Interest rate swap contracts, hedging | Interest expense | $(790) | $(795) |

***CRE - Term Reinvestment Financing Facility***

In March 2025, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of ours entered into a master repurchase agreement (the "JPMorgan Chase 2025 Facility") with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. ("JPMorgan Chase") to finance existing CRE loans and the origination of CRE loans. The JPMorgan Chase 2025 Facility has a maximum facility amount of $939.9 million, provides match term funding, charges interest of one-month benchmark plus a 1.75% spread and matures as of the latest maturity date of any purchased asset. The JPMorgan Chase 2025 Facility includes a two-year reinvestment period enabling the reinvestment of principal proceeds from asset repayments into qualifying replacement assets.

[<u>(Back to Index)</u>](#index_to_quarterly_report)

------

[<u>(Back to Index)</u>](#index_to_quarterly_report)

In connection with the JPMorgan Chase 2025 Facility, we provided "bad act" guaranties pursuant to a guarantee agreement (the "2025 JPMorgan Chase Guarantee") where we are liable for 100% of the repurchase price of the purchase assets and JPMorgan Chase's losses, costs and expenses only upon the occurrence of certain customary bad acts. The JPMorgan Chase 2025 Guarantee includes certain financial covenants required of us, including required liquidity, required capital, ratios of total indebtedness to equity and EBITDA requirements. The JPMorgan Chase 2025 Facility also includes minimum interest coverage requirements and maximum look through LTV requirements. Also, ACRES Realty Funding, Inc. ("ACRES RF"), the direct owner of the wholly-owned subsidiary borrower, executed a pledge agreement with JPMorgan Chase pursuant to which it pledged and granted to JPMorgan Chase a continuing security interest in any and all of its right, title and interest in and to the wholly-owned subsidiary, including all distributions, proceeds, payments, income and profits from its interests in the wholly-owned subsidiary.

The JPMorgan Chase 2025 Facility specifies events of default, subject to certain materiality thresholds and grace periods, customary for this type of financing arrangement, including but not limited to: payment defaults; bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings; a change of control of the ACRES SPE 2025-1, LLC, ("Seller SPE") or of us; breaches of covenants and/or certain representations and warranties; and a judgment in an amount greater than $250,000 against the Seller SPE or ACRES RF or $10.0 million against us. The remedies for such events of default are also customary for this type of financing arrangement and include the acceleration of the principal amount outstanding under the JPMorgan Chase 2025 Facility and the liquidation by JPMorgan Chase of purchased assets then subject to the JPMorgan Chase 2025 Facility.

***Senior Secured Financing Facility***

In July 2020, an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of ours ("Holdings"), along with its direct wholly-owned subsidiary (the "Borrower"), entered into a $250.0 million loan and servicing agreement (the "MassMutual Loan Agreement") with Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company ("MassMutual") and the other lenders party thereto (the "Lenders") to form an asset-based revolving loan facility ("MassMutual Facility") to finance our core CRE lending business. The MassMutual Facility initially had an interest rate of 5.75% per annum payable monthly and initially matured on July 31, 2027.

In December 2022, Holdings, the Borrower and the Lenders entered into an Amended and Restated Loan and Servicing Agreement, which amends and restates the MassMutual Loan Agreement, and reflects a senior secured term loan facility, not to exceed $500.0 million, composed of individual loan series issued upon mutual agreement of the Borrower and Lenders. Each loan series will be available for three months after the closing date agreed upon by the Borrower and Lenders ("Commitment Period"), subject to the maximum dollar amount agreed upon for that series. The Commitment Period is subject to immediate termination upon the occurrence of an event of default. Each loan series will have a final maturity of five years from the issuance date for the loan series unless an additional time is mutually agreed upon by the Lenders and Borrower. The advance rate on portfolio assets will be mutually agreed upon by the Lenders and Borrower. Each loan series will have its own mutually agreed upon interest rate equal to one-month Term SOFR plus the applicable spread.

***CRE - Term Warehouse Financing Facilities***

In October 2018, an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of ours entered into a master repurchase agreement (the "JPMorgan Chase Facility") with JP Morgan Chase to finance the origination of CRE loans. As amended, the JPMorgan Chase Facility has a maximum facility amount of $250.0 million, charges interest of one-month benchmark plus market spreads and has a maturity date of July 2026. In August 2025, we entered into Amendment No. 7 to Guarantee, by and between us and JPMorgan Chase, which makes certain amendments and modifications to the Guarantee, dated October 26, 2018 between us and JPMorgan Chase, as amended (the "JPM Guarantee") to amend the terms of the debt service coverage period.

In November 2021, an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of ours entered into a master repurchase and securities contract agreement (the "Morgan Stanley Facility") with Morgan Stanley Mortgage Capital Holdings LLC ("Morgan Stanley") to finance the origination of CRE loans. As amended, the Morgan Stanley Facility has a maximum facility amount of $250.0 million, charges interest of one-month Term SOFR plus market spreads and matures in November 2025. We also have the right to request a one-year extension. In March 2025, we entered into Amendment No. 4 to Guaranty (the "Morgan Stanley Amendment") by and between us and Morgan Stanley, which makes certain amendments and modifications to the Guaranty between us and Morgan Stanley as amended (the "MS Guaranty"), including but not limited to (capitalized terms each as defined in the MS Guaranty) (i) minimum unencumbered Liquidity requirement, (ii) the ratio of Total Indebtedness to Total Equity, (iii) ratio of Adjusted Total Indebtedness to Total Equity, and (iv) EBITDA to Interest Expense ratio.

***Mortgages Payable***

In April 2022, Chapel Drive West, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Charles Street – ACRES FSU Student Venture, LLC entered into a Loan Agreement (the "Mortgage") with Readycap Commercial, LLC ("Readycap") to finance the acquisition of a student housing complex. The Mortgage is interest only and has a maximum principal balance of $20.4 million, of which, $18.7 million was advanced in the initial funding. The Mortgage charges interest of one-month Term SOFR plus a spread of 3.80%. The Mortgage was amended to mature in April 2026, subject to a one-year extension option.

The Mortgage contains events of default, subject to certain materiality thresholds and grace periods, customary for this type of financing arrangement. The remedies for such events of default are also customary for this type of transaction.

In January 2023, Chapel Drive East, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the FSU Student Venture, entered into a loan agreement (the "Construction Loan Agreement") with Oceanview Life and Annuity Company ("Oceanview") to finance the construction of a student housing complex (the "Construction Loan"). The Construction Loan is interest only and has a maximum principal balance of $48.0 million. The Construction Loan charges one-month Term SOFR plus a spread of 6.00%. In February 2025, the Construction Loan was amended to bifurcate the first one-year extension option into two separate extension options and periods: a seven month extension period ending September 2025 and a five month extension ending February 2026. The Construction Loan matures in September 2025, subject to one five month extension, then two one-year extension options.

In addition to the Construction Loan, Chapel Drive East, LLC entered into a financing agreement with Florida Pace Funding Agency to fund energy efficient building improvements and has a maximum principal balance of $15.5 million. This agreement charges fixed interest of 7.26% and matures in July 2053. We do not guarantee this financing agreement.

In connection with our investment in the student housing complex, ACRES RF entered into guarantees related to the Construction Loan made to Chapel Drive East, LLC. Pursuant to the guarantees, Jason Pollack, Frank Dellaglio and ACRES RF (collectively, the "Guarantors"), for the benefit of Oceanview, provided limited "bad boy" guaranties to Oceanview pursuant to the Construction Loan Agreement until the earlier of the payment in full of the indebtedness or the date of a sale of the property pursuant to a foreclosure of the mortgage or deed or other transfer in lieu of foreclosure is accepted by Oceanview. The Guarantors also entered into a Completion Guaranty Agreement for the benefit of Oceanview to guaranty the timely completion of the project in accordance with the Construction Loan Agreement, as well as a Carry Guaranty Agreement, for the benefit of Oceanview to guaranty and the unconditional payment by Chapel Drive East, LLC of all customary or necessary costs and expenses incurred in connection with the operation, maintenance and management of the property and an Environmental Indemnity Agreement jointly and severally in favor of Oceanview whereby the Guarantors serving as Indemnitors provided environmental representations and warranties, covenants and indemnifications (collectively the "Guaranties"). The Guaranties include certain financial covenants required of ACRES RF, including required net worth and liquidity requirements.

**Securitizations**

***ACR 2021-FL1***

In May 2021, we closed ACR 2021-FL1, an $802.6 million CRE debt securitization transaction that provided financing for CRE loans. In March 2025, we exercised the optional redemption on ACR 2021-FL1 in conjunction with the closing of the JPMorgan Chase 2025 Facility.

***ACR 2021-FL2***

In December 2021, we closed ACR 2021-FL2, a $700.0 million CRE debt securitization transaction that provided financing for CRE loans. In March 2025, we exercised the optional redemption on ACR 2021-FL2 in conjunction with the closing of the JPMorgan Chase 2025 Facility.

**Corporate Debt**

***5.75% Senior Unsecured Notes Due 2026***

On August 16, 2021, we issued $150.0 million of our 5.75% senior unsecured notes due 2026 (the "5.75% Senior Unsecured Notes") pursuant to our Indenture, dated August 16, 2021 (the "Base Indenture"), between Wells Fargo, now Computershare Trust Company, N.A. ("CTC"), as trustee (the "Trustee"), and us as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture, dated August 16, 2021, between Wells Fargo, now CTC, and us (the "Supplemental Indenture" and, together with the Base Indenture, the "Indenture"). Prior to May 15, 2026, we may at our option redeem the 5.75% Senior Unsecured Notes, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to the sum of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date, and (ii) a make-whole premium. On or after May 15, 2026, we may at our option redeem the 5.75% Senior Unsecured Notes, at any time, in whole or in part, on not less than 15 days nor more than 60 days' prior notice, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 5.75% Senior Unsecured Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date.

***Unsecured Junior Subordinated Debentures***

During 2006, we formed RCT I and RCT II for the sole purpose of issuing and selling capital securities representing preferred beneficial interests. RCT I and RCT II are not consolidated into our consolidated financial statements because we are not deemed to be the primary beneficiary of these entities. In connection with the issuance and sale of the capital securities, we issued junior subordinated debentures to RCT I and RCT II of $25.8 million each, representing our maximum exposure to loss. The debt issuance costs associated with the junior subordinated debentures for RCT I and RCT II were included in borrowings and were amortized into interest expense on the consolidated statements of operations using the effective yield method over a ten year period.

There were no unamortized debt issuance costs associated with the junior subordinated debentures for RCT I and RCT II outstanding at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The interest rates for RCT I and RCT II, at June 30, 2025, were 8.51% and 8.49%, respectively. The interest rates for RCT I and RCT II, at December 31, 2024, were 8.54% and 8.80%, respectively.

**Equity**

Total equity at June 30, 2025 was $435.4 million compared to total equity at December 31, 2024 of $449.7 million. The decrease in equity during the six months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily attributable to current losses, common stock repurchases and dividends on preferred stock for the six months ended June 30, 2025.

Our preferred equity is composed of the following at June 30, 2025:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•4.8 million shares of 8.625% fixed to floating rate Series C cumulative redeemable preferred stock with a $25.00 per share liquidation preference ("Series C Preferred Stock"). The Series C Preferred Stock has no maturity date and we are not required to redeem them at any time. However, we may redeem them at our election, in whole or in apart, on or after July 30, 2024. Effective July 30, 2024, the Series C Preferred Stock converted from its fixed rate of 8.625% to a floating rate equal to three-month Term SOFR plus a spread of 5.927%, but at no time shall the floating rate be less than 8.625%. Dividends are payable quarterly in arrears.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•4.5 million shares of fixed 7.875% Series D cumulative redeemable preferred stock with a $25.00 per share liquidation preference ("Series D Preferred Stock"). The Series D Preferred Stock has no maturity and we are not required to redeem them at any time. However, we may redeem them at our election, in whole or in apart, on or after May 21, 2026. Dividends are payable quarterly in arrears.

(1)Per share calculations exclude unvested restricted stock, as disclosed on our consolidated balance sheets, of 328,586 and 574,538 shares at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, and include warrants to purchase up to 391,995 shares of common stock at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The denominators for the calculations were 7,205,664 and 7,451,461 shares at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

(2)The per share amounts are calculated with the denominator referenced in footnote (1) at June 30, 2025. We calculated net loss per common share-diluted of $(0.10) and $(0.90) using the weighted average diluted shares outstanding during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.

(3)In November 2021, our Board authorized and approved the continued use of our existing share repurchase program to repurchase up to $20.0 million of our outstanding common stock. In November 2023, an additional $10.0 million of outstanding shares of both common and preferred stock was authorized. In December 2024, our Board authorized and approved the repurchase of an additional $5.0 million of outstanding shares of both common and preferred stock. In April 2025, our Board authorized and approved the repurchase of an additional $10.0 million of outstanding shares of both common and preferred stock. We purchased 3.1 million common shares for $37.5 million and 100,000 preferred shares for $2.2 million through June 30, 2025. Because we repurchased our common stock at significant discounts to book value, these repurchases were accretive to per share book value since the inception of the program.

(4)We calculated common stock book value as total stockholders' equity of $425.3 million less preferred stock equity of $224.0 million at June 30, 2025.

**Management Agreement Equity**

Our monthly base management fee, as defined in our Management Agreement, is equal to 1/12th of the amount of our equity multiplied by 1.50% and is calculated and paid monthly in arrears.

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

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
|  | **Amount** |
| **At June 30, 2025:** |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Proceeds from capital stock issuances, net <sup>(1)</sup> | $1330472 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Retained earnings, net <sup>(2)</sup> | (641368) |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Payments for repurchases of capital stock | (264261) |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Total | $424843 |

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

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

**Earnings Available for Distribution**

Earnings Available for Distribution ("EAD") is a non-GAAP financial measure intended to supplement our financial results computed in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"), and we believe EAD serves as a useful indicator for investors in evaluating our performance and ability to pay dividends.

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

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

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

The following table provides a reconciliation from GAAP net (loss) income allocable to common shares to EAD allocable to common shares for the periods presented (in thousands, except per share data):

There was no incentive compensation payable incurred by us for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.

**Incentive Compensation Hurdle**

With respect to each fiscal quarter commencing with the quarter ended December 31, 2022, an incentive management fee calculated and payable in arrears in an amount, not less than zero, equal to:

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

[<u>(Back to Index)</u>](#index_to_quarterly_report)

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

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

The following table summarizes the calculation of the Incentive Compensation Hurdle for the three months ended June 30, 2025 (dollars in thousands, except per share data):

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Book Value Equity** | **Amount** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Stockholders' equity less equity attributable to any outstanding preferred stock at September 30, 2022 | $216026 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Total amount of net proceeds from any issuance of common stock after October 1, 2022 | 4640 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Cumulative EAD from and after October 1, 2022 to the end of the most recently completed calendar quarter | 31703 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Amount paid to repurchase common stock after October 1, 2022 <sup>(1)</sup> | (16997) |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Incentive Compensation paid after October 1, 2022 <sup>(1)</sup> | (1235) |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Book value equity at June 30, 2025 | $234137 |
| Incentive Compensation Hurdle <sup>(2)(3)</sup> | $16390 |
| Average closing price of 30 day period ending three days prior to issuance date | $17.91 |

---

(1)Calculated on a daily weighted average basis for the 12-month period ended June 30, 2025.

(2)Calculated as book value equity at June 30, 2025 multiplied by 1.75% (7% per annum).

(3)The amount by which EAD (as defined in the Management Agreement) exceeds the Incentive Compensation Hurdle is multiplied by 20% to arrive at incentive compensation for the quarter.

For the three months ended June 30, 2025, there was no incentive compensation payable to the Manager.

**Liquidity and Capital Resources**

Liquidity is a measurement of our ability to meet potential cash requirements, including ongoing commitments to pay dividends, fund investments, repay borrowings and provide for other general business needs, including payment of our base management fee and incentive compensation. Our ability to meet our on-going liquidity needs is subject to our ability to generate cash from operating activities, which was $7.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, and our ability to maintain and/or obtain additional debt financing and equity capital together with the funds referred to below.

At June 30, 2025, our liquidity consisted of $42.7 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, and $21.9 million of potential proceeds from unlevered financeable CRE loans.

During the six months ended June 30, 2025, our principal sources of liquidity were: (i) gross financing proceeds of $907.6 million from our term reinvestment financing facility; (ii) warehouse financing proceeds of $56.6 million on loan originations (iii) proceeds of $31.7 million on CRE loan sales; and (iv) net proceeds of $7.1 million from repayments on our CRE portfolio.

These sources of liquidity were offset by the liquidation of our two CRE securitizations, paydowns on our term warehouse facilities, deployments in CRE loan portfolio and real estate investments, repurchases of common stock, distributions on our preferred stock and ongoing operating expenses and substantially resulted in the $42.7 million of unrestricted cash we held at June 30, 2025.

The outstanding balance of our loan to ACRES Capital Corp., the parent of our Manager, was $10.6 million and $10.7 million at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The note bears interest at 3.00% per annum, payable monthly, and matures in July 2026, subject to two one-year extensions, at ACRES Capital Corp.'s option, and amortizes at a rate of $25,000 per month.

[<u>(Back to Index)</u>](#index_to_quarterly_report)

------

[<u>(Back to Index)</u>](#index_to_quarterly_report)

In March 2025, we amended and restated our loan to ACRES Capital Corp. to: (i) be issued by ACRES Holdings, LLC, (ii) provide for a six month option for ACRES Holdings, LLC to draw an additional balance of $7.0 million, and (iii) if such option is exercised, (a) to extend the maturity to July 31, 2031, (b) increase the interest rate to 5% and (c) increase the monthly amortization to $50,000.

***Cash Flows***

For the six months ended June 30, 2025, our restricted and unrestricted cash and cash equivalents balance decreased from $57.6 million to $44.9 million. The cash movements can be summarized by the following:

*Cash flows from operating activities*. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, operating activities increased our cash balances by $7.2 million, primarily driven by changes in operating assets and liabilities, non-cash reversal of provision for loan losses, and non-cash amortization and depreciation.

*Cash flows from investing activities*. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, investing activities increased our cash balances by $54.6 million, primarily driven by repayments of CRE loans and proceeds from sales of CRE loans, partially offset by deployments in a CRE mezzanine loan, funding of existing commitments on CRE whole loans and deployments in our investment in real estate and investments in unconsolidated entities with underlying real estate collateral.

*Cash flows from financing activities*. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, financing activities decreased our cash balances by $74.6 million, primarily driven by repayments on our CRE securitization notes and term warehouse financing facilities, distributions on our preferred stock, and repurchases of our common stock, partially offset by proceeds from our CRE term reinvestment financing facility.

***Financing Availability***

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*1. CRE - Term Reinvestment Financing Facility:* Our term reinvestment financing facility allows us to borrow effectively against loans that we own. Under this agreement, we transfer loans to a counterparty and agree to repurchase the same loans from the counterparty at a price equal to the transfer price plus interest. The counterparty retains the sole discretion over whether to purchase the loan from us. The facility includes a two-year reinvestment period enabling the reinvestment of principal proceeds from asset repayments into qualifying assets, provided the proceeds are reinvested within 90 days of the payoff. We can also acquire and finance the future funding participations of the portfolio collateral, subject to the discretion of the counterparty.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*2. Senior Secured Financing Facility:* Our senior secured financing facility allows us to borrow against loans and real estate investments that we own. This facility has an individual floating rate loan series structure that have a three month commitment period after the financing is approved by the lender, subject to the maximum dollar amount agreed upon for the series. Each floating rate loan series will have mutually agreed upon terms including (i) total commitment, including the capacity to fund future funding commitments, where applicable; (ii) advance rate on portfolio assets; (iii) interest rate composed of one-month Term SOFR plus a market rate spread; and (iv) maturity date of five years from the issuance date for the loan series unless an additional time is mutually agreed upon by the parties. The facility has a maximum portfolio LTV of 85% and contains customary events of default, subject to certain materiality thresholds and grace periods, customary for this type of financing arrangement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*3. Term Warehouse Financing Facilities (CRE loans):* Term warehouse financing facilities effectively allow us to borrow against loans that we own. Under these agreements, we transfer loans to a counterparty and agree to purchase the same loans from the counterparty at a price equal to the transfer price plus interest. The counterparty retains the sole discretion over both whether to purchase the loan from us and, subject to certain conditions, the collateral value of such loan for purposes of determining whether we are required to pay margin to the counterparty. Generally, if the lender determines (subject to certain conditions) that the value of the collateral in a repurchase transaction has decreased by more than a defined minimum amount, we would be required to repay any amounts borrowed in excess of the product of (i) the revised collateral or market value multiplied by (ii) the applicable advance rate. During the term of these agreements, we receive the principal and interest on the related loans and pay interest to the counterparty.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*4. Securitizations:* We seek non-recourse long-term financing from securitizations of our investments in CRE loans. The securitizations generally involve a senior portion of our loan but may involve the entire loan. Securitization generally involves transferring notes to a special purpose vehicle (or the issuing entity), which then issues one or more classes of non-recourse notes pursuant to the terms of an indenture. The notes are secured by the pool of assets. In exchange for the transfer of assets to the issuing entity, we receive cash proceeds from the sale of non-recourse notes. Securitizations of our portfolio investments might magnify our exposure to losses on those portfolio investments because the retained subordinate interest in any particular overall loan would be subordinate to the loan components sold and we would, therefore, absorb all losses sustained with respect to the overall loan before the owners of the senior notes experience any losses with respect to the loan in question.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*5. Mortgage payable:* We have entered into a loan agreement to finance the acquisition of a student housing complex. This loan is interest only and has a maximum principal balance, most of which was advanced in the initial funding. The loan agreement contains events of default, subject to certain materiality thresholds and grace periods, customary for this type of financing arrangement. The remedies for such events of default are also customary for this type of transaction.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*6. Construction loans:* We have entered into a loan agreement to finance the construction of a student housing complex. This loan is interest only and has a maximum principal balance of $48.0 million. The loan agreement contains events of default, subject to certain materiality thresholds and grace periods, customary for this type of financing arrangement. The remedies for such events of default are also customary for this type of transaction. Additionally, we have entered into a financing agreement to fund energy efficient building improvements at this student housing complex, with a maximum principal balance of $15.5 million.

In March 2025, we exercised the optional redemption of both ACR 2021-FL1 and ACR 2021-FL2. We also entered into a master repurchase agreement with JPMorgan Chase to finance existing CRE loans as well as the origination of new CRE loans. In connection with the financing, we repaid (i) all of the outstanding senior notes at the ACR 2021-FL1 and ACR 2021-FL2 securitizations, (ii) all of the outstanding borrowings on the existing JPMorgan Chase facility and (iii) one borrowing from the Morgan Stanley facility, from the proceeds of the new financing facility. We recognized a charge of $1.5 million upon the redemption of the ACR 2021-FL1 and ACR 2021-FL2 securitizations from the recognition of unamortized deferred debt issuance costs associated with those securitizations.

We were in compliance with all of our covenants at June 30, 2025 in accordance with the terms provided in agreements with our lenders.

Historically, we have financed the acquisition of our investments through collateralized loan obligations ("CLO") and securitizations that essentially match the maturity and repricing dates of these financing vehicles with the maturities and repricing dates of our investments. In the past, we have derived substantial operating cash from our equity investments in our CLOs and securitizations, which will cease if the CLOs and securitizations fail to meet certain tests. Through optional redemption of our securitizations in March 2025, we did not experience difficulty in maintaining our existing CLO and securitization financing and passed all of the critical tests required by these financings. Our securitizations collectively had balances of $865.1 million at December 31, 2024.

The following table sets forth the coverage test summary for our financing facility for the periods presented (in thousands):

(1)Look Through LTV cushion represents the amount by which the collateral held by the counterparty exceeds the minimum amount required.

(2)Interest coverage includes annualized amounts based on the most recent distribution period.

(3)Interest coverage cushion represents the amount by which annualized interest income expected exceeds the annualized amount payable on the CRE term reinvestment financing facility.

Our leverage ratio, defined as the ratio of borrowings to total equity, may vary as a result of the various funding strategies we use. At both June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, our leverage ratio under GAAP was 3.0 times. The leverage ratio remained the same during the period primarily due to the net decrease in borrowings offset by the net decrease to total equity.

At June 30, 2025, we had $32.1 million of cumulative net operating losses ("NOL") to carry forward to future years. NOL can generally be carried forward to offset both ordinary taxable income and capital gains in future years. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ("TCJA"), along with revisions made by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security ("CARES") Act reduced the deduction for NOLs generated post 2017 to 80% of taxable income and granted an indefinite carryforward period. Additionally, we have cumulative total net capital losses of $121.9 million, which are set to expire at December 31, 2025.

We also have tax assets in our taxable REIT subsidiaries ("TRS"). These tax assets are analyzed and disclosed quarterly in our financial statements. At June 30, 2025, our TRSs had $60.9 million of NOLs comprising: $39.8 million of pre-TCJA NOLs, some of which are set to expire beginning in 2044 and $21.1 million of NOLs with an indefinite carryforward period.

***Distributions***

We did not pay distributions on our common shares during the six months ended June 30, 2025 as we were focused on prudently retaining and managing sufficient excess liquidity. As a result of losses during 2020, we received significant NOL carryforwards and net capital loss carryforwards, as finalized in our 2020 tax return. We intend to retain taxable income by utilizing our NOL carryforwards and expect to generate capital gains to use a portion of our net capital loss carryforwards, thereby growing book value and our investable equity base. As we continue to take steps necessary to stabilize our earnings available for distribution, our Board expects to establish a plan for the prudent resumption of the payment of common share distributions. No assurance, however, can be given as to the amounts or timing of future distributions as such distributions are subject to our earnings, financial condition, capital requirements and such other factors as our Board deems relevant.

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

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

**Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements**

***General***

At June 30, 2025, we did not maintain any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships that were established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or contractually narrow or limited purposes, although we do have interests in unconsolidated entities that were not established for those purposes. At June 30, 2025, we had not guaranteed obligations of any unconsolidated entities or entered into any commitment or letter of intent to provide additional funding to any such entities.

***Unfunded Commitments***

In the ordinary course of business, we make commitments to borrowers whose loans are in our CRE loan portfolio to provide additional loan funding in the future. Disbursement of funds pursuant to these commitments is subject to the borrower meeting pre-specified criteria. These commitments are subject to the same underwriting requirements and ongoing portfolio maintenance as are the on-balance sheet financial investments that we hold. Since these commitments may expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Whole loans had $77.7 million and $94.0 million in unfunded loan commitments at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Unfunded commitments are not considered in the CECL reserve if they are unconditionally cancellable.

***Guarantees and Indemnifications***

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

In January 2023, Chapel Drive East, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the FSU Student Venture, entered into a loan agreement (the "Construction Loan Agreement") with Oceanview Life and Annuity Company ("Oceanview") to finance the construction of a student housing complex (the "Construction Loan").

In connection with our investment in the student housing complex, ACRES RF entered into guarantees related to the Construction Loan. Pursuant to the guarantees, Jason Pollack, Frank Dellaglio and ACRES RF (collectively, the "Guarantors"), for the benefit of Oceanview, provided limited "bad boy" guaranties to Oceanview pursuant to the Construction Loan Agreement until the earlier of the payment in full of the indebtedness or the date of a sale of the property pursuant to a foreclosure of the mortgage or deed or other transfer in lieu of foreclosure is accepted by Oceanview. The Guarantors also entered into a Completion Guaranty Agreement for the benefit of Oceanview to guaranty the timely completion of the project in accordance with the Construction Loan Agreement, as well as a Carry Guaranty Agreement, for the benefit of Oceanview to guaranty unconditional payment by Chapel Drive East, LLC of all customary or necessary costs and expenses incurred in connection with the operation, maintenance and management of the property and an Environmental Indemnity Agreement jointly and severally in favor of Oceanview whereby the Guarantors provided environmental representations and warranties, covenants and indemnifications (collectively the "Guaranties"). The Guaranties include certain financial covenants required of ACRES RF, including required net worth and liquidity requirements.

**Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates**

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared by management in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires that we make estimates and assumptions that may affect the value of our assets or liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements and our financial results. We believe that certain of our policies are critical because they require us to make difficult, subjective and complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain. The critical policies summarized below relate to valuation of investment securities, accounting for derivative financial instruments and hedging activities, income taxes, allowance for credit losses and variable interest entities ("VIEs"). We have reviewed these accounting policies with our Board and believe that all of the decisions and assessments upon which our financial statements are based were reasonable at the time made based upon information available to us at the time.

***Allowance for Credit Losses***

We maintain an allowance for credit losses on our loans held for investment. CRE loans that are held for investment are carried at cost, net of unamortized acquisition premiums or discounts, loan fees and origination costs as applicable. Effective January 1, 2020, we determine our allowance for credit losses, consistent with GAAP, by measuring CECL on the loan portfolio on a quarterly basis. We utilize a probability of default and loss given default methodology over a reasonable and supportable forecast period after which we revert to the historical mean loss ratio, utilizing a blended approach sourced from our own historical losses and the market losses from an engaged third-party's database, to be applied for the remaining estimable period. The CECL model requires us to make significant judgments, including: (i) the selection of a reasonable and supportable forecast period, (ii) the selection and weighting of appropriate macroeconomic forecast scenarios, (iii) the determination of the risk characteristics in which to pool financial assets, and (iv) the appropriate historical loss data to use in the model. Unfunded commitments are not considered in the CECL reserve if they are unconditionally cancellable by us.

We measure the loan portfolio's credit losses by grouping loans based on similar risk characteristics under CECL, which is typically based on the loan's collateral type. We regularly evaluate the risk characteristics of our loan portfolio to determine whether a different pooling methodology is more accurate. Further, if we determine that foreclosure of a loan's collateral is probable or repayment of the loan is expected through sale or operation of the collateral and the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, expected credit losses are measured as the difference between the current fair value of the collateral and the amortized cost of the loan. Fair value may be determined based on (i) the present value of estimated cash flows; (ii) the market price, if available; or (iii) the fair value of the collateral less estimated disposition costs.

While a loan exhibiting credit quality deterioration may remain on accrual status, the loan is placed on nonaccrual status at such time as (i) management believes that scheduled debt service payments will not be met within the coming 12 months; (ii) the loan becomes 90 days past due; (iii) management determines the borrower is incapable of, or has ceased efforts toward, curing the cause of the credit deterioration; or (iv) the net realizable value of the loan's underlying collateral approximates our carrying value for such loan. While on nonaccrual status, we recognize interest income only when an actual payment is received if a credit analysis supports the borrower's principal repayment capacity. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual, previously accrued interest is reversed from interest income.

[<u>(Back to Index)</u>](#index_to_quarterly_report)

------

[<u>(Back to Index)</u>](#index_to_quarterly_report)

We utilize the contractual life of our loans to estimate the period over which we measure expected credit losses. Estimates for prepayments and extensions are incorporated into the inputs for our CECL model. Modifications to loan terms, such as a modification in connection with a troubled debt restructuring ("TDR"), where a concession is granted to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty, may result in the extension of the loan's life and an increase in the allowance for credit losses.

In order to calculate the historical mean loss ratio applied to the loan portfolio, we utilize historical losses from our full underwriting history, along with the market loss history of a selected population of loans from a third-party's database that are similar to our loan types, loan sizes, durations, interest rate structure and general LTV profiles. We may make adjustments to the historical loss history for qualitative or environmental factors if we believe there is evidence that the estimate for expected credit losses should be increased or decreased.

We record write-offs against the allowance for credit losses if we deem that all or a portion of a loan's balance is uncollectible. If we receive cash in excess of some or all of the amounts we previously wrote off, we record a recovery to increase the allowance for credit losses.

As part of the evaluation of the loan portfolio, we assess the performance of each loan and assign a risk rating based on the collective evaluation of several factors, including but not limited to: collateral performance relative to underwritten plan, time since origination, current implied and/or re-underwritten LTV ratios, risk inherent in the loan structure and exit plan. Loans are rated "1" through "5," from least risk to greatest risk, in connection with this review.

***Investments in Real Estate***

We acquire investments in real estate through direct equity investments and as a result of our lending activities (i.e. through foreclosure or the receipt of the deed-in-lieu of foreclosure on a property). Acquired investments in real estate assets are recorded initially at fair value in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We allocate the purchase price of our acquired assets and assumed liabilities based on the relative fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

We evaluate whether property obtained as a result of our lending activities should be identified as held for sale. If a property is determined to be held for sale, all of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities will be recorded in property held for sale on the consolidated balance sheets and recorded at the lower of cost or fair value. Once a property is classified as held for sale, depreciation expense is no longer recorded.

Investments in real estate are carried net of accumulated depreciation. We depreciate real property, building and tenant improvements and furniture, fixtures, and equipment using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. We amortize any acquired intangible assets using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the intangible assets. We amortize the value allocated to lease right of use assets and related in-place lease liabilities, when determined to be operating leases, using the straight-line method over the remaining lease term. The value allocated to any associated above or below market lease intangible asset or liability is amortized to lease expense over the remaining lease term.

Ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Costs related to the improvement of the real property are capitalized and depreciated over their useful lives. Costs related to the development and construction of real property are capitalized to construction in progress during the period beginning with the commencement of development and ending with the completion of construction.

We depreciate investments in real estate and amortize intangible assets over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Category** | **Term** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Building | 35 to 40 years |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Building improvements | 1 to 39 years |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Site improvements | 10 years |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Tenant improvements | Shorter of lease term or expected useful life |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Furniture, fixtures and equipment | 1 to 12 years |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Right of use assets | 3 to 99 years |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Intangible assets | 3 months to 18 years |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Lease liabilities | Shorter of lease term or expected useful life |

***Revenue Recognition***

Interest income from our loan portfolio is recognized over the life of each loan using the effective interest method and is recorded on the accrual basis. Premiums and discounts are amortized or accreted into income using the effective yield method. If a loan with a premium or discount is prepaid, we immediately recognize the unamortized portion as a decrease or increase to interest income. In addition, we defer loan origination and extension fees and loan origination costs and recognize them over the life of the related loan with interest income using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective yield method. Income recognition is suspended for loans at the earlier of the date at which payments become 90 days past due or when, in our opinion, a full recovery of principal and income becomes doubtful. When the ultimate collectability of the principal is in doubt, all payments received are applied to principal under the cost recovery method. When the ultimate collectability of the principal is not in doubt, contractual interest is recorded as interest income when received, under the cash method, until an accrual is resumed when the loan becomes contractually current and performance is demonstrated to be resumed.

Through our investments in real estate, we earn revenue associated with rental operations and hospitality operations, which are presented in real estate income on the consolidated statements of operations.

Rental operating revenue consists of fixed contractual base rent arising from tenant leases at our office properties under operating leases. Revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the non-cancelable terms of the related leases. For leases that have fixed and measurable rent escalations, the difference between such rental income earned and the cash rent due under the provisions of the lease is recorded in our consolidated balance sheets. We move to cash basis operating lease income recognition in the period in which collectability of all lease payments is no longer considered probable. At such time, any uncollectible receivable balance will be written off.

Hospitality operating revenue consists of amounts derived from hotel operations, including room sales and other hotel revenues. We recognize hospitality operating revenue when guest rooms are occupied, services have been provided or fees have been earned. Revenues are recorded net of any sales, occupancy or other taxes collected from customers on behalf of third parties. The following provides additional detail on room revenue and other operating revenue:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Room revenue is recognized when our hotel satisfies its performance obligation of providing a hotel room. The hotel reservation defines the terms of the agreement including an agreed-upon rate and length of stay. Payment is typically due and paid in full at the end of the stay with some customers prepaying for their rooms prior to the stay. Payments received from a customer prior to arrival are recorded as an advance deposit and are recognized as revenue at the time of occupancy.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Other operating revenue is recognized at the time when the goods or services are provided to the customer or when the performance obligation is satisfied. Payment is due at the time that goods or services are rendered or billed.

***Variable Interest Entities***

We consolidate entities that are VIEs where we have determined that we are the primary beneficiary of such entities. Once it is determined that we hold a variable interest in a VIE, management performs a qualitative analysis to determine (i) if we have the power to direct the matters that most significantly impact the VIE's financial performance; and (ii) if we have the obligation to absorb the losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive the benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. If our variable interest possesses both of these characteristics, we are deemed to be the primary beneficiary and would be required to consolidate the VIE. This assessment must be done on an ongoing basis.

At June 30, 2025, we determined that there are no VIEs to be consolidated.

**Recent Accounting Standards**

***Accounting Standards to be Adopted in Future Periods***

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued guidance to improve the transparency of income tax disclosures. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 and is to be adopted on a prospective basis with the option to apply retrospectively. We are in the process of evaluating the impact of this guidance, however, we do not expect a material impact to our consolidated financial statements.

In November 2024, the FASB issued guidance to improve transparency on certain costs and expenses. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and is to be adopted on a prospective basis with the option to apply retrospectively.

[<u>(Back to Index)</u>](#index_to_quarterly_report)

We are in the process of evaluating the impact of this guidance, however, we do not expect a material impact to our consolidated financial statements.

**Inflation**

Virtually all of our assets and liabilities are interest rate sensitive in nature. As a result, interest rates and other factors influence our performance far more than does inflation. Changes in interest rates do not necessarily correlate with inflation rates or changes in inflation rates. Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP and our distributions are determined by our Board based primarily on our maintaining our REIT qualification; in each case, our activities and balance sheet are measured with reference to historical cost and/or fair market value without considering inflation.

**ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK**

At June 30, 2025, the primary components of our market risk were credit risk, counterparty risk, financing risk, and interest rate risk, as described below. While we do not seek to avoid risk completely, we do seek to assume risk that can be quantified from historical experience, to actively manage that risk, to earn sufficient compensation to justify assuming that risk and to maintain capital levels consistent with the risk we undertake or to which we are exposed. Additionally, refer to Item 1A, "Risk Factors" included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 for additional information on risks we face.

**Credit Risks**

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

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

In a business environment where benchmark interest rates are increasing significantly, cash flows of the CRE assets underlying our loans may not be sufficient to pay debt service on our loans, which could result in non-performance or default. We partially mitigate this risk by generally requiring our borrowers to purchase interest rate cap agreements with non-affiliated, well-capitalized third parties and by selectively requiring our borrowers to have and maintain debt service reserves. These interest rate caps generally mature prior to the maturity date of the loan and the borrowers are required to pay to extend them. In most cases the sponsors will need to fund additional equity into the properties to cover these costs as the property may not generate sufficient cash flow to pay these costs. At June 30, 2025, 62% of the par value of our CRE loan portfolio had interest rate caps or debt service reserves in place with a weighted-average maturity of three months.

Macroeconomic conditions may persist into the future and impair our borrowers' ability to comply with the terms under our loan agreements. We maintain a robust asset management relationship with our borrowers and have utilized these relationships to address rising interest rates, and other macroeconomic factors on our loans secured by properties experiencing cash flow pressure. These conditions may be exacerbated by recent changes in global tariff policies and escalating global trade tensions, which may introduce uncertainty in supply chains and contribute to market volatility. While we believe the principal amounts of our loans are generally adequately protected by underlying collateral value, there is a risk that we will not realize the entire principal value of certain investments. In order to mitigate that risk, we have proactively engaged with our borrowers, particularly with those with near-term maturities, in order to maximize recovery.

**Counterparty Risk**

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

[<u>(Back to Index)</u>](#index_to_quarterly_report)

[<u>(Back to Index)</u>](#index_to_quarterly_report)

**Financing Risk**

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

**Interest Rate Risk**

Our business model is such that rising interest rates will increase our net income, while declining interest rates will decrease net income, subject to the impact of interest rate floors. At June 30, 2025, 97.8% of our CRE loan portfolio by par value earned a floating rate of interest and may be financed with liabilities that both pay interest at floating rates and that are fixed. Floating-rate loans financed with fixed rate liabilities have a negative correlation with declining interest rates to the extent of our financing. The remaining 2.2% of our CRE loan portfolio by par value has a contractual fixed rate of interest. To the extent that interest rate floors on our floating-rate CRE loans are in the money, our net interest will have a negative correlation with rising interest rates to the extent of those interest rate floors. Our floating-rate loan portfolio of $1.4 billion had a weighted-average benchmark floor of 1.17% at June 30, 2025.

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

(1)Includes our floating-rate CRE loans at June 30, 2025.

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

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

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

***Risk Management***

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

**ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES**

**Disclosure Controls and Procedures**

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

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

**Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting**

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

**PART II**

**ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS**

We may become involved in litigation on various matters due to the nature of our business activities. The resolution of these matters may result in adverse judgments, fines, penalties, injunctions and other relief against us as well as monetary payments or other agreements and obligations. In addition, we may enter into settlements on certain matters in order to avoid the additional costs of engaging in litigation. We are unaware of any contingencies arising from such litigation that would require accrual or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements at June 30, 2025.

**ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS**

As of the date of this report, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed under Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), except we may disclose changes to such factors or disclose additional factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC.

**ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES, USE OF PROCEEDS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES**
