***Distributable Earnings***

In addition to using certain financial metrics prepared in accordance with GAAP to evaluate our performance, we also use Distributable Earnings to evaluate our performance. Distributable Earnings is a measure that is not prepared in accordance with GAAP. We define Distributable Earnings as, for a specified period, the net income (loss) computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding (i) non-cash equity compensation expense, (ii) depreciation and amortization, (iii) any unrealized gains, losses or other non-cash items recorded in net income (loss) for the period, regardless of whether such items are included in other comprehensive income or loss, or in net income (loss); provided that Distributable Earnings does not exclude, in the case of investments with a deferred interest feature (such as OID, debt instruments with PIK interest and zero coupon securities), accrued income that we have not yet received in cash, (iv) provision for current expected credit losses and (v) one-time events pursuant to changes in GAAP and certain non-cash charges, in each case after discussions between our Manager and our independent directors and after approval by a majority of such independent directors. We believe providing Distributable Earnings on a supplemental basis to our net income as determined in accordance with GAAP is helpful to stockholders in assessing the overall performance of our business. As a REIT, we are required to distribute at least 90% of our annual REIT taxable income and to pay tax at regular corporate rates to the extent that we annually distribute less than 100% of such taxable income. Given these requirements and our belief that dividends are generally one of the principal reasons that stockholders invest in our common stock, we generally intend to attempt to pay dividends to our stockholders in an amount equal to our net taxable income, if and to the extent authorized by our Board. Distributable Earnings is one of many factors considered by our Board in authorizing dividends and, while not a direct measure of net taxable income, over time, the measure can be considered a useful indicator of our dividends.

In our Annual Report on Form 10-K, we defined Distributable Earnings so that, in addition to the exclusions noted above, the term also excluded from net income Incentive Compensation paid to our Manager. We believe that revising the term Distributable Earnings so that it is presented net of Incentive Compensation, while not a direct measure of net taxable income, over time, can be considered a more useful indicator of our ability to pay dividends. This adjustment to the calculation of Distributable Earnings has no impact on period-to-period comparisons. Distributable Earnings should not be considered as substitutes for GAAP net income. We caution readers that our methodology for calculating Distributable Earnings may differ from the methodologies employed by other REITs to calculate the same or similar supplemental performance measures, and as a result, our reported Distributable Earnings may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other REITs.

Market and Industry Data In this presentation, the Company relies on and refers to certain information and statistics obtained from third - party sources which it believes to be reliable, including reports by market research firms . The Company has not independently verified the accuracy or completeness of any such third - party information . Because the cannabis industry is relatively new and rapidly evolving, such market and industry data may be subject to significant change in a relatively short period . Important Notices This presentation is by Chicago Atlantic Real Estate Finance, Inc . , ("REFI" or the "Company") a publicly traded company that has elected to be taxed as a REIT for federal income tax purposes . This presentation is provided for informational purposes only and is not an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, any security or instrument . REFI is not a registered investment adviser and is managed by Chicago Atlantic REIT Manager, LLC (our "Manager") . This presentation is not a communication by our Manager and is not designed to maintain any existing client or investor or solicit new clients or investors of the Manager . We routinely post important information for investors on our website, refi . reit . We intend to use this webpage as a means of disclosing material information, for complying with our disclosure obligations under Regulation FD and to post and update investor presentations and similar materials on a regular basis . REFI encourages investors, analysts, the media and others interested in REFI to monitor the Investor Relations section of our website, in addition to following our press releases, SEC filings, public conference calls, presentations, webcasts and other information we post from time to time on our website . Past performance is no guarantee of future results . There is no guarantee that any investment strategy referenced herein will work under all market conditions . You alone assume the responsibility of evaluating the merits and risks associated with any potential investment or investment strategy referenced herein . The information contained herein is not intended to provide, and should not be relied upon for accounting, legal or tax advice or investment recommendations for REFI or any of its affiliates . Non - GAAP Financial Measures This presentation includes certain non - GAAP financial measures, including Distributable Earnings, to evaluate our performance excluding the effects of certain transactions and certain GAAP adjustments that we believe are not necessarily indicative of our current loan activity and operations . We believe the non - GAAP financial measures are useful for management, investors, analysts, and other interested parties in evaluating our performance but should not be viewed in isolation and are not a substitute for financial measures computed in accordance with GAAP . We define Distributable Earnings as, for a specified period, the net income (loss) computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding (i) non - cash equity compensation expense, (ii) depreciation and amortization, (iii) any unrealized gains, losses or other non - cash items recorded in net income (loss) for the period, regardless of whether such items are included in other comprehensive income or loss, or in net income (loss) ; provided that Distributable Earnings does not exclude, in the case of investments with a deferred interest feature (such as OID, debt instruments with PIK interest and zero coupon securities), accrued income that we have not yet received in cash, (iv) provision for current expected credit losses and (v) one - time events pursuant to changes in GAAP and certain non - cash charges, in each case after discussions between our Manager and our independent directors and after approval by a majority of such independent directors . We believe providing Distributable Earnings on a supplemental basis to our net income as determined in accordance with GAAP is helpful to stockholders in assessing the overall performance of our business . As a REIT, we are required to distribute at least 90 % of our annual REIT taxable income and to pay tax at regular corporate rates to the extent that we annually distribute less than 100 % of such taxable income . Given these requirements and our belief that dividends are generally one of the principal reasons that stockholders invest in our common stock, we generally intend to attempt to pay dividends to our stockholders in an amount equal to our net taxable income, if and to the extent authorized by our Board . Distributable Earnings is one of many factors considered by our Board in authorizing dividends and, while not a direct measure of net taxable income, over time, the measure can be considered a useful indicator of our dividends .

Chicago Atlantic Real Estate Finance, Inc 12 The Cannabis Landscape in the U.S. Where We See Opportunities WE FOLLOW ALPHA INTO INDUSTRIES WITH LOW COMPETITION LACK OF TRADITIONAL FINANCING Banks generally don't lend to firms in this industry, allowing higher interest rates, attractive collateral, and lender - friendly covenants. LOW CORRELATIONS TO TRADITIONAL MARKETS Medical cannabis behaves like pharmaceuticals, recreational cannabis behaves like tobacco and alcohol, both exhibiting low correlation with traditional markets. HIGH BARRIERS TO ENTRY Each state has unique investment characteristics, supply and demand dynamics, and legal frameworks, requiring sophisticated understanding of the industry and strong underwriting expertise. FOCUS ON LIMITED LICENSE STATES Limited license states have limited competition, lucrative license values, high wholesale prices, and less black - market presence.
