Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Significant Accounting Policies	2. Significant Accounting Policies The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Company. Basis of Presentation and Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements and related notes of the Company are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The Company will generally consolidate entities (i) it controls through either majority ownership or voting rights or (ii) management determines that the Company is the primary beneficiary of entities deemed to be variable interest entities (“VIEs”). Accordingly, the Company consolidated the results of its subsidiaries (AB CRE PDF Member I LLC, a wholly owned entity formed to hold assets and be the borrower under the Company’s repurchase agreement—see Note 8, AB CRE PDF Athena LLC, a wholly owned entity, AB CRE PDF TNVA1 LLC, a wholly owned entity and AB CRE PDF Lending C LLC, a wholly owned entity) in its consolidated financial statements. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Use of Estimates The preparation of these financial statements require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. Changes in the economic environment, financial markets and any other parameters used in determining such estimates could cause actual results to differ. Commercial debt securities Investments in commercial debt securities are recorded in accordance with ASC 320-10, "Investments – Debt and Equity Securities". The Company has chosen to make a fair value election pursuant to ASC 825, "Financial Instruments" for its commercial debt securities portfolio. These securities are recorded at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets and the periodic change in fair value is recorded in current period earnings on the consolidated statement of income as a component of "Net unrealized gain/(loss)." Purchases and sales of commercial debt securities are recorded on the trade date. The Company accrues interest income in commercial debt securities using the effective interest method. Mortgage Loan Receivables Held for Investment Loans for which the Company has the intention and ability to hold for the foreseeable future, or until maturity or payoff, are reported at their outstanding principal balances net of any unearned income, unamortized deferred fees or costs, premiums or discounts and an allowance for credit losses. Loan origination fees and direct loan origination costs are deferred and recognized in interest income over the estimated life of the loans using the effective interest method, adjusted for actual prepayments. Upon the decision to sell such loans, the Company will transfer the loan from mortgage loan receivables held for investment to mortgage loan receivables held for sale at the lower of carrying value or fair value on the consolidated balance sheets. Provision for Loan Losses The Company uses a current expected credit loss model (“CECL”) for estimating the provision for loan losses on its loan portfolio. The CECL model requires the consideration of possible credit losses over the life of an instrument and includes a portfolio-based component and an asset-specific component. In compliance with the CECL reporting requirements, the Company supplemented its existing credit monitoring and management processes with additional processes to support the calculation of the CECL reserves. The credit loss model is a forward-looking, econometric, commercial real estate loss forecasting tool. It is comprised of a probability of default model and a loss given default model that, layered together with user’s loan-level data, selected forward-looking macroeconomic variables, and pool-level mean loss rates, produces life of loan expected losses at the loan and portfolio level. Where management has determined that the credit loss model does not fully capture certain external factors, including portfolio trends or loan-specific factors, a qualitative adjustment to the reserve, is recorded. The asset-specific reserve component relates to reserves for losses on individually impaired loans. The Company evaluates each loan for impairment at least quarterly. Impairment occurs when it is deemed probable that the Company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan. If the loan is considered to be impaired, an allowance is recorded to reduce the carrying value of the loan to the present value of the expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective rate or the fair value of the collateral, less the estimated costs to sell, if recovery of the Company’s investment is expected solely from the collateral. The Company may use the direct capitalization rate valuation methodology or the sales comparison approach to estimate the fair value of the collateral for such loans and in certain cases will obtain external appraisals and take into account potential sale bids. Determining fair value of the collateral may take into account a number of assumptions including, but not limited to, cash flow projections, market capitalization rates, discount rates and data regarding recent comparable sales of similar properties. Such assumptions are generally based on current market conditions and are subject to economic and market uncertainties. The Company’s loans are typically collateralized by real estate directly or indirectly. As a result, the Company regularly evaluates the extent and impact of any credit deterioration associated with the performance and/or value of the underlying collateral property as well as the financial and operating capability of the borrower/sponsor on a loan-by-loan basis. Specifically, a property’s operating results and any cash reserves are analyzed and used to assess (i) whether cash flow from operations is sufficient to cover the debt service requirements currently and into the future, (ii) the ability of the borrower to refinance the loan at maturity, and/or (iii) the property’s liquidation value. The Company also evaluates the financial wherewithal of any loan guarantors as well as the borrower’s competency in managing and operating the properties. In addition, the Company considers the overall economic environment, real estate sector, and geographic submarket in which the collateral property is located. Such impairment analyses are completed and reviewed by asset management and underwriting personnel, who utilize various data sources, including (i) periodic financial data such as property occupancy, tenant profile, rental rates, operating expenses, the borrowers’ business plan, and capitalization and discount rates, (ii) site inspections, and (iii) current credit spreads and other market data and ultimately presented to management for approval. The allowance for credit losses was $6.5 million and $6.1 million at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, and is included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 this allowance was impacted by an increase of $0.4 million and $0.4 million in allowance for credit losses as reflected in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, this allowance was impacted by an increase of $0.0 million and $3.2 million in allowance for credit losses as reflected in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. Non-accrual loans The Company designates non-accrual loans generally when (i) the principal or coupon interest components of loan payments become 90-days past due or (ii) in the opinion of the Company, it is doubtful the Company will be able to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan. Interest income on non-accrual loans in which the Company reasonably expects a full recovery of the loan’s outstanding principal balance is recognized when received in cash. Otherwise, income recognition will be suspended and any cash received will be applied as a reduction to the amortized cost. A non-accrual loan is returned to accrual status at such time as the loan becomes contractually current and future principal and coupon interest are reasonably assured to be received in accordance with the contractual loan terms. A loan will be written off when management has determined it is no longer realizable and deemed non-recoverable. The company has one non-accrual loan as of both June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. Valuation of Financial Instruments The Company discloses (see Note 7) the value of its financial instruments at fair value accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure (“ASC Topic 820”) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”). Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Investment Manager, which is subject to oversight by our Board, makes this fair value determination on a quarterly basis and any other time when a decision regarding the fair value of the portfolio investments is required. A determination of fair value involves subjective judgments and estimates and depends on the facts and circumstances. Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of the investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a readily available market value existed for such investments, and the differences could be material. ASC Topic 820 specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. ASC Topic 820 also provides guidance regarding a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes information used to measure fair value and the effect of fair value measurements on earnings and provides for enhanced disclosures determined by the level within the hierarchy of information used in the valuation. In accordance with ASC Topic 820, these inputs are summarized in the three levels listed below: • Level 1—Valuations are based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that are accessible at the measurement date. • Level 2—Valuations are based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant inputs are observable. • Level 3—Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models incorporating significant unobservable inputs, such as discounted cash flow models and other similar valuations techniques. The valuation of Level 3 assets and liabilities generally requires significant management judgment due to the inability to observe inputs to valuation. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, an investment’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of observable input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the investment. Under ASC Topic 820, the fair value measurement also assumes that the transaction to sell an asset occurs in the principal market for the asset or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset, which may be a hypothetical market, and excludes transaction costs. The principal market for any asset is the market with the greatest volume and level of activity for such asset in which the reporting entity would or could sell or transfer the asset. In determining the principal market for an asset or liability under ASC Topic 820, it is assumed that the reporting entity has access to such market as of the measurement date. Market participants are defined as buyers and sellers in the principal or most advantageous market that are independent, knowledgeable and willing and able to transact. The value of any investment on any valuation date is intended to represent the fair value of such investment on such date based upon the amount at which the investment could be exchanged between willing parties, other than in a forced liquidation sale, and reflects the Board’s determination of fair value using the methodology described herein. Any valuation of an investment may not reflect the actual amount received by the Company upon the liquidation of such investment. The Company’s investments are expected to mostly be considered Level 3 assets under ASC Topic 820 because the investments will generally not have identical assets or liabilities with quoted prices in active markets and will generally not have all significant inputs observable. Equity Method Investments The Company accounts for its investments in unconsolidated entities under the equity method of accounting. The Company applies the equity method by initially recording these investments at cost, as equity method investments, subsequently adjusted for equity in earnings and cash contributions and distributions. In some instances, the reporting period of the investments’ financial statements lags the Company’s financial reporting period, but such lag is never more than three months. In the event there is an outside basis portion of the Company’s equity method investments, it is amortized over the anticipated useful lives of the underlying entities’ tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Any outside basis amortization is included in earnings from equity method investments on the consolidated statement of income. The Company evaluates equity investments on a periodic basis to determine if there are any indicators that the value of the equity investment may be impaired and whether or not that impairment is other-than-temporary. To the extent an impairment has occurred and is determined to be other- than-temporary, we measure the charge as the excess of the carrying value of our investment over its estimated fair value. The Company classifies distributions received from equity method investments using the cumulative earnings approach. Distributions received are considered returns on the investment and classified as cash inflows from operating activities. If, however, the investor’s cumulative distributions received, less distributions received in prior periods determined to be returns of investment, exceeds cumulative equity in earnings recognized, the excess is considered a return of investment and is classified as cash inflows from investing activities. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash and short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less at the date of acquisition. Cash and cash equivalents typically include amounts held in interest bearing overnight accounts and amounts held in money market funds, and these balances generally exceed insured limits. The Company holds its cash at institutions that it believes to be highly creditworthy. Repurchase Agreements The Company finances certain of its mortgage loan receivables using repurchase agreements. Under a repurchase agreement, an asset is sold to a counterparty to be repurchased at a future date at a predetermined price. The Company accounts for these repurchase agreements as financings under ASC 860-10-40. Revenue Recognition Interest income, adjusted for amortization of market premium and accretion of market discount, is recorded on an accrual basis to the extent amounts are expected to be collected. Original issue discount and market discount or premium are capitalized and are accreted or amortized into income over the life of the respective security using the effective interest method. Loan origination fees received in connection with the closing of investments are reported as unearned income which is included as amortized cost of the investment; the unearned income from such fees is accreted over the contractual life of the loan based using the effective interest method up to the maturity date of the loan. Upon prepayment of a loan or debt security, any prepayment penalties, unamortized loan origination fees, and unamortized market discounts are recorded as income. Deferred Financing Costs Deferred financing costs include capitalized expenses related to the closing of the debt obligations. Amortization of deferred financing costs is computed on the straight-line basis over the contractual term for the Credit Facility, Repurchase Agreement and Notes Payable. The amortization of such costs is included in interest expense in the consolidated statements of income, with any unamortized amounts included in deferred financing costs on the consolidated balance sheets. Income Taxes The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Code for U.S. federal income tax purposes commencing with our taxable year that begins on the date of our Initial Closing. To qualify as a REIT, the Company must meet a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that it distributes at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, subject to certain adjustments and excluding any net capital gain, to the Members. The Company intends to adhere to the REIT qualification requirements and to maintain our qualification for taxation as a REIT. As a REIT, the Company is generally not subject to U.S. federal corporate income tax on the portion of taxable income that is distributed to the Members. If the Company fails to qualify for taxation as a REIT in any taxable year, it may be subject to U.S. federal income taxes at regular corporate rates and it may not be able to qualify as a REIT for four subsequent taxable years. As a REIT, the Company may be subject to certain state and local taxes on our income and property, and to U.S. federal income and excise taxes on undistributed taxable income. Taxable income from non-REIT activities is taxable to the extent it is subject to U.S. federal, state, and local income taxes at the applicable rates. The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective income tax basis, and for net operating loss, capital loss and tax credit carryforwards. The deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted income tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be realized or settled. The effect on the deferred tax assets and liabilities from a change in tax rates is recognized in earnings in the period when the new rate is enacted. However, deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is more likely than not that they will be realized based on consideration of all available evidence, including the future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, future projected taxable income and tax planning strategies. Valuation allowances are provided if, based upon the weight of the available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company performs an annual review for any uncertain tax positions and, if necessary, will record the expected future tax consequences of uncertain tax positions in the consolidated financial statements. Segment Reporting The Company represents a single operating segment originating and acquiring commercial mortgage loans and related investments. An operating segment is defined in U.S. GAAP as a component of a public entity that engages in business activities from which it may recognize revenues and incur expenses, has operating results that are regularly reviewed by the public entity’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and has discrete financial information available. The Company’s Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer are collectively the CODM. The CODM monitors the operating results of the Company as a whole and the pre-determined Company’s long term investment strategy, which is executed by the Company's management group. The qualitative and quantitative information contained within the financial statements is used by the CODM to assess the segments performance versus the Company’s comparative benchmark and to make resource allocation decisions. Segment assets are reflected on the consolidated balance sheets and segment expenses are listed on the consolidated statements of income. The accounting policies of the Company segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The CODM assesses performance for the segment based on net income, which is reported on the income statement as consolidated net income. The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheet as total consolidated assets. The significant segment expenses are those that are reported on the income statement. For the year ended June 30, 2025, there were 4 commercial real estate loan borrowers who individually accounted for more than 10% of our consolidated gross income. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses” (“ASU 2024-03”). ASU 2024-03 requires public entities to disaggregate specific types of expenses, including disclosures for depreciation, intangible asset amortization, and selling expenses. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, with prospective application required and retrospective application or early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact from adopting ASU 2024-03 on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures. In August 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-05, “Business Combinations - Joint Venture Formations.” This ASU addresses the accounting for contributions made to a joint venture, upon formation, in a joint ventures separate financial statements . The ASU is effective for all joint venture formations with a formation date on or after January 1, 2025. The Company did not have a joint venture formed on or after January 1, 2025, and the ASU did not have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Company.

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements and related notes of the Company are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

The Company will generally consolidate entities (i) it controls through either majority ownership or voting rights or (ii) management determines that the Company is the primary beneficiary of entities deemed to be variable interest entities (“VIEs”). Accordingly, the Company consolidated the results of its subsidiaries (AB CRE PDF Member I LLC, a wholly owned entity formed to hold assets and be the borrower under the Company’s repurchase agreement—see Note 8, AB CRE PDF Athena LLC, a wholly owned entity, AB CRE PDF TNVA1 LLC, a wholly owned entity and AB CRE PDF Lending C LLC, a wholly owned entity) in its consolidated financial statements. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Mortgage Loan Receivables Held for Investment

Loans for which the Company has the intention and ability to hold for the foreseeable future, or until maturity or payoff, are reported at their outstanding principal balances net of any unearned income, unamortized deferred fees or costs, premiums or discounts and an allowance for credit losses. Loan origination fees and direct loan origination costs are deferred and recognized in interest income over the estimated life of the loans using the effective interest method, adjusted for actual prepayments. Upon the decision to sell such loans, the Company will transfer the loan from mortgage loan receivables held for investment to mortgage loan receivables held for sale at the lower of carrying value or fair value on the consolidated balance sheets.

Provision for Loan Losses

The Company uses a current expected credit loss model (“CECL”) for estimating the provision for loan losses on its loan portfolio. The CECL model requires the consideration of possible credit losses over the life of an instrument and includes a portfolio-based component and an asset-specific component. In compliance with the CECL reporting requirements, the Company supplemented its existing credit monitoring and management processes with additional processes to support the calculation of the CECL reserves. The credit loss model is a forward-looking, econometric, commercial real estate loss forecasting tool. It is comprised of a probability of default model and a loss given default model that, layered together with user’s loan-level data, selected forward-looking macroeconomic variables, and pool-level mean loss rates, produces life of loan expected losses at the loan and portfolio level. Where management has determined that the credit loss model does not fully capture certain external factors, including portfolio trends or loan-specific factors, a qualitative adjustment to the reserve, is recorded.

The asset-specific reserve component relates to reserves for losses on individually impaired loans. The Company evaluates each loan for impairment at least quarterly. Impairment occurs when it is deemed probable that the Company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan. If the loan is considered to be impaired, an allowance is recorded to reduce the carrying value of the loan to the present value of the expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective rate or the fair value of the collateral, less the estimated costs to sell, if recovery of the Company’s investment is expected solely from the collateral. The Company may use the direct capitalization rate valuation methodology or the sales comparison approach to estimate the fair value of the collateral for such loans and in certain cases will obtain external appraisals and take into account potential sale bids. Determining fair value of the collateral may take into account a number of assumptions including, but not limited to, cash flow projections, market capitalization rates, discount rates and data regarding recent comparable sales of similar properties. Such assumptions are generally based on current market conditions and are subject to economic and market uncertainties.

The Company’s loans are typically collateralized by real estate directly or indirectly.

The Company also evaluates the financial wherewithal of any loan guarantors as well as the borrower’s competency in managing and operating the properties. In addition, the Company considers the overall economic environment, real estate sector, and geographic submarket in which the collateral property is located. Such impairment analyses are completed and reviewed by asset management and underwriting personnel, who utilize various data sources, including (i) periodic financial data such as property occupancy, tenant profile, rental rates, operating expenses, the borrowers’ business plan, and capitalization and discount rates, (ii) site inspections, and (iii) current credit spreads and other market data and ultimately presented to management for approval.

The allowance for credit losses was $6.5 million and $6.1 million at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, and is included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 this

Non-accrual loans

The Company designates non-accrual loans generally when (i) the principal or coupon interest components of loan payments become 90-days past due or (ii) in the opinion of the Company, it is doubtful the Company will be able to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan. Interest income on non-accrual loans in which the Company reasonably expects a full recovery of the loan’s outstanding principal balance is recognized when received in cash. Otherwise, income recognition will be suspended and any cash received will be applied as a reduction to the amortized cost. A non-accrual loan is returned to accrual status at such time as the loan becomes contractually current and future principal and coupon interest are reasonably assured to be received in accordance with the contractual loan terms. A loan will be written off when management has determined it is no longer realizable and deemed non-recoverable. The company has one non-accrual loan as of both June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Valuation of Financial Instruments

The Company discloses (see Note 7) the value of its financial instruments at fair value accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure (“ASC Topic 820”) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”). Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

The Investment Manager, which is subject to oversight by our Board, makes this fair value determination on a quarterly basis and any other time when a decision regarding the fair value of the portfolio investments is required. A determination of fair value involves subjective judgments and estimates and depends on the facts and circumstances. Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of the investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a readily available market value existed for such investments, and the differences could be material.

ASC Topic 820 specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. ASC Topic 820 also provides guidance regarding a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes information used to measure fair value and the effect of fair value measurements on earnings and provides for enhanced disclosures determined by the level within the hierarchy of information used in the valuation. In accordance with ASC Topic 820, these inputs are summarized in the three levels listed below:

•

Level 1—Valuations are based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that are accessible at the measurement date.

•

Level 2—Valuations are based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant inputs are observable.

•

Level 3—Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models incorporating significant unobservable inputs, such as discounted cash flow models and other similar valuations techniques. The valuation of Level 3 assets and liabilities generally requires significant management judgment due to the inability to observe inputs to valuation.

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, an investment’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of observable input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the investment.

Under ASC Topic 820, the fair value measurement also assumes that the transaction to sell an asset occurs in the principal market for the asset or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset, which may be a hypothetical market, and excludes transaction costs. The principal market for any asset is the market with the greatest volume and level of activity for such asset in which the reporting entity would or could sell or transfer the asset. In determining the principal market for an asset or liability under ASC Topic 820, it is assumed that the reporting entity has access to such market

as of the measurement date. Market participants are defined as buyers and sellers in the principal or most advantageous market that are independent, knowledgeable and willing and able to transact.

The value of any investment on any valuation date is intended to represent the fair value of such investment on such date based upon the amount at which the investment could be exchanged between willing parties, other than in a forced liquidation sale, and reflects the Board’s determination of fair value using the methodology described herein. Any valuation of an investment may not reflect the actual amount received by the Company upon the liquidation of such investment.

The Company’s investments are expected to mostly be considered Level 3 assets under ASC Topic 820 because the investments will generally not have identical assets or liabilities with quoted prices in active markets and will generally not have all significant inputs observable.

Equity Method Investments

The Company accounts for its investments in unconsolidated entities under the equity method of accounting. The Company applies the equity method by initially recording these investments at cost, as equity method investments, subsequently adjusted for equity in earnings and cash contributions and distributions. In some instances, the reporting period of the investments’ financial statements lags the Company’s financial reporting period, but such lag is never more than three months. In the event there is an outside basis portion of the Company’s equity method investments, it is amortized over the anticipated useful lives of the underlying entities’ tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Any outside basis amortization is included in earnings from equity method investments on the consolidated statement of income.

The Company evaluates equity investments on a periodic basis to determine if there are any indicators that the value of the equity investment may be impaired and whether or not that impairment is other-than-temporary. To the extent an impairment has occurred and is determined to be other- than-temporary, we measure the charge as the excess of the carrying value of our investment over its estimated fair value.

The Company classifies distributions received from equity method investments using the cumulative earnings approach. Distributions received are considered returns on the investment and classified as cash inflows from operating activities. If, however, the investor’s cumulative distributions received, less distributions received in prior periods determined to be returns of investment, exceeds cumulative equity in earnings recognized, the excess is considered a return of investment and is classified as cash inflows from investing activities.

Revenue Recognition

Interest income, adjusted for amortization of market premium and accretion of market discount, is recorded on an accrual basis to the extent amounts are expected to be collected. Original issue discount and market discount or premium are capitalized and are accreted or amortized into income over the life of the respective security using the effective interest method. Loan origination fees received in connection with the closing of investments are reported as unearned income which is included as amortized cost of the investment; the unearned income from such fees is accreted over the contractual life of the loan based using the effective interest method up to the maturity date of the loan. Upon prepayment of a loan or debt security, any prepayment penalties, unamortized loan origination fees, and unamortized market discounts are recorded as income.

Income Taxes

The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Code for U.S. federal income tax purposes commencing with our taxable year that begins on the date of our Initial Closing. To qualify as a REIT, the Company must meet a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that it distributes at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, subject to certain adjustments and excluding any net capital gain, to the Members. The Company intends to adhere to the REIT qualification requirements and to maintain our qualification for taxation as a REIT.

As a REIT, the Company is generally not subject to U.S. federal corporate income tax on the portion of taxable income that is distributed to the Members. If the Company fails to qualify for taxation as a REIT in any taxable year, it may be subject to U.S. federal income taxes at regular corporate rates and it may not be able to qualify as a REIT for four subsequent taxable years. As a REIT, the Company may be subject to certain state and local taxes on our income and property, and to U.S. federal income and excise taxes on undistributed taxable income. Taxable income from non-REIT activities is taxable to the extent it is subject to U.S. federal, state, and local income taxes at the applicable rates.

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective income tax basis, and for net operating loss, capital loss and tax credit carryforwards. The deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted income tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be realized or settled. The effect on the deferred tax assets and liabilities from a change in tax rates is recognized in earnings in the period when the new rate is enacted. However, deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is more likely than not that they will be realized based on consideration of all available evidence, including the future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, future projected taxable income and tax planning strategies. Valuation allowances are provided if, based upon the weight of the available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company performs an annual review for any uncertain tax positions and, if necessary, will record the expected future tax consequences of uncertain tax positions in the consolidated financial statements.

Segment Reporting

The Company represents a single operating segment originating and acquiring commercial mortgage loans and related investments. An operating segment is defined in U.S. GAAP as a component of a public entity that engages in business activities from which it may recognize revenues and incur expenses, has operating results that are regularly reviewed by the public entity’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and has discrete financial information available. The Company’s Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer are collectively the CODM. The CODM monitors the operating results of the Company as a whole and the pre-determined Company’s long term investment strategy, which is executed by the Company's management group. The qualitative and quantitative information contained within the financial statements is used by the CODM to assess the segments performance versus the Company’s comparative benchmark and to make resource allocation decisions. Segment assets are reflected on the consolidated balance sheets and segment expenses are listed on the consolidated statements of income. The accounting policies of the Company segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies.
