OWENS REALTY MORTGAGE, INC.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)


NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION
Owens Realty Mortgage, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated on August 9, 2012, under the laws of the State of Maryland. The Company is authorized to issue 50,000,000 shares of its $0.01 par value common stock ("Common Stock"). In addition, the Company is authorized to issue 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock at $0.01 par value per share. The Company was created to effect the merger (the "Merger") of Owens Mortgage Investment Fund, a California Limited Partnership ("OMIF") with and into the Company as described in the Registration Statement on Form S-4, as amended, of the Company, declared effective on February 12, 2013 (File No. 333-184392).  The Merger was part of a plan to reorganize the business operations of OMIF so that it could elect to qualify as a real estate investment trust for Federal income tax purposes. The Merger was approved by OMIF limited partners on April 16, 2013 and was completed on May 20, 2013.

The Company has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust ("REIT") under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), commencing with the Company's taxable year ended December 31, 2012. As a REIT, the Company is permitted to deduct distributions made to its stockholders, allowing its operating income represented by such distributions to avoid taxation at the entity level and to be taxed generally only at the stockholder level. The Company currently intends to distribute substantially all of its REIT taxable income, excluding net capital gains. As a REIT, however, the Company is subject to separate, corporate-level tax, including potential 100% penalty taxes under various circumstances, as well as certain state and local taxes. In addition, the Company's taxable REIT subsidiaries are subject to full corporate income tax. Furthermore, the Company's ability to continue to qualify as a REIT will depend upon its continuing satisfaction of various requirements, such as those related to the diversity of its stock ownership, the nature of its assets, the sources of its income and the distributions to its stockholders, including a requirement that the Company distribute to its stockholders at least 90% of its REIT taxable income on an annual basis (determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and by excluding net capital gain).

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

In the opinion of the management of the Company, the accompanying unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal, recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial information included therein. Certain information and footnote disclosures presented in the annual consolidated financial statements are not included in these interim financial statements.  These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Form 10-K of ORM for the year ended December 31, 2016 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on March 15, 2017. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2017. The Company evaluates subsequent events up to the date it files its Form 10-Q with the SEC. 

Basis of Presentation

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned taxable REIT subsidiaries ("TRSs") and its majority- and wholly-owned limited liability companies. The Company is in the business of providing mortgage lending services and manages its business as one operating segment. Due to foreclosure activity, the Company also owns and manages real estate assets.

Certain reclassifications, not affecting previously reported net income or total stockholders' equity, have been made to the previously issued consolidated financial statements to conform to the current period presentation.

Management Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Such estimates are inherently imprecise and actual results could differ significantly from such estimates.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2017-01, "Business Combinations (Topic 805) – Clarifying the Definition of a Business", or ASU 2017-01. The amendments in ASU 2017-01 clarify the definition of a business by more clearly outlining the requirements for an integrated set of assets and activities to be considered a business and by establishing a practical framework to determine when the integrated set of assets and activities is a business. This standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted for transactions not yet reflected in the financial statements. The Company does not believe that adoption of ASU 2017-01 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, "Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) – Restricted Cash", or ASU 2016-18. The amendments in ASU 2016-18 require that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents and amounts generally described as restricted cash and cash equivalents together when reconciling the beginning and end of period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. This standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted and requires adoption on a retrospective basis to each period presented. The adoption of ASU 2016-18 will result in the Company including its restricted cash with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning and ending amounts shown on its consolidated statement of cash flows.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, "Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) – Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments", or ASU 2016-15. The amendments in ASU 2016-15 reflect eight targeted changes to how cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. This standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted and requires adoption on a retrospective basis to each period presented, unless it is impracticable to apply, in which case, the amendment is required to be applied prospectively as of the earliest date practicable. Presently, the Company believes that the only impact from the adoption of ASU 2016-15 will be that distributions it receives from its equity method investment will be reported in cash flows from operating activities rather than investing activities on its consolidated statement of cash flows.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, "Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326) – Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments", or ASU 2016-13. The amendments in ASU 2016-13 eliminate the probable and incurred credit loss recognition threshold in current GAAP and, instead, reflect an entity's current estimate of all expected credit losses. The amendments in ASU 2016-13 broaden the information that an entity must consider in developing its expected credit loss estimate for assets measured either collectively or individually. The use of forecasted information incorporates more timely information in the estimate of expected credit loss. This standard is effective for interim and annual reporting beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted for interim and annual reporting beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2016-13 may have on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)," or ASU 2014-09. ASU 2014-09 broadly amends the accounting guidance for revenue recognition. ASU 2014-09's effective date was deferred one year by ASU 2015-14, and it is now effective for the first interim or annual period beginning after December 15, 2017, and is to be applied retrospectively to all periods presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect recognized at the date of the initial application. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company expects that the majority of its revenue will not be impacted by the adoption of this accounting standard since the standard will not change its accounting policy for the recognition of interest income. The Company does not anticipate its revenue from real estate properties and related disclosures will be significantly impacted by this standard, however management is still evaluating the standard's impact as it relates to rental income and gain on sale of real estate when such sale is financed by the Company.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)" or ASU 2016-02.  ASU 2016-02 amends existing guidance related to leases, primarily by requiring the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under the current accounting guidance. This standard is effective for interim and annual reporting beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted.  The Company does not believe that adoption of ASU 2016-02 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, "Financial Instruments- Overall (Subtopic 825-10) – Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities", or ASU 2016-1.  ASU 2016-01 enhances the reporting model for financial instruments to provide users of financial statements with more decision-useful information. This Update contains several provisions, including but not limited to 1) requiring equity investments, with certain exceptions, to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income; 2) simplifying the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values by requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairment; 3) eliminating the requirement to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate fair value; and 4) requiring separate presentation of financial assets and liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset on the balance sheet or the accompanying notes to the financial statements. ASU 2016-1 also changes certain financial statement disclosure requirements, including requiring disclosures of the fair value of financial instruments be made on the basis of exit price. ASU 2016-1 is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years.  Management does not expect adoption of this accounting standard will have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements, however management expects the requirement to use an exit price methodology could impact the disclosures the Company makes related to fair value of its financial instruments.  Disclosure of the fair value of loans is likely to be impacted the most by this change.

Significant Accounting Policies
 The significant accounting policies used in the preparation of these interim consolidated financial statements are disclosed in the Company's consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016 included in its 2016 annual report on Form 10-K.  There have been no significant changes to those significant accounting policies during the six months ended June 30, 2017.
NOTE 3 – LOANS AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
Loans are generally stated at the principal amount outstanding. Advances under the terms of a loan to pay property taxes, insurance, legal and other costs are generally capitalized and reported as interest and other receivables. The Company's portfolio consists primarily of real estate loans generally collateralized by first, second and third deeds of trust.  Interest income on loans is accrued by the simple interest method. A loan is generally placed on nonaccrual status when the loan becomes greater than ninety days delinquent in monthly payments and/or full payment of principal and interest is not expected. When a loan is classified as nonaccrual, interest accruals discontinue and all past due interest is included in the recorded investment in the impaired loan that is measured as described below. Interest accruals are resumed on such loans only when they are brought fully current with respect to interest and principal and when, in the judgment of management, the loans are estimated to be fully collectible as to both principal and interest. Cash receipts on nonaccrual loans are used to reduce any outstanding accrued interest, and then are recorded as interest income, except when such payments are specifically designated as principal reduction or when management does not believe the Company's investment in the loan is fully recoverable. The Company does not incur origination costs and does not earn or collect origination fees from borrowers as OFG is entitled to all such fees (see Note 9).

Loans and the related accrued interest and advances are analyzed by management on a periodic basis for ultimate recovery. The allowance for loan losses is management's estimate of probable credit losses inherent in the Company's loan portfolio that have been incurred as of the balance sheet date.  The allowance is established through a provision for loan losses which is charged to expense.  Additions to the allowance are expected to maintain the adequacy of the total allowance after credit losses and loan growth.  Credit exposures determined to be uncollectible are charged against the allowance.  Cash received on previously charged off amounts is recorded as a recovery to the allowance.  The overall allowance consists of two primary components: specific reserves related to impaired loans that are individually evaluated for impairment and general reserves for inherent losses related to loans that are not considered impaired and are collectively evaluated for impairment.

Regardless of a loan type, a loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, management believes it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due, including principal and interest, according to the contractual terms of the original agreement.  All loans determined to be impaired are individually evaluated for impairment.  When a loan is considered impaired, management estimates impairment based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, except that as a practical expedient, management may measure impairment based on a loan's observable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.  A loan is collateral dependent if the repayment of the loan is expected to be provided solely by the underlying collateral. These valuations are generally updated during the fourth quarter but may be updated during interim periods if deemed appropriate by management.

A restructuring of a debt constitutes a troubled debt restructuring ("TDR") if the Company for economic or legal reasons related to the debtor's financial difficulties grants a concession to the debtor that it would not otherwise consider.  Restructured loans typically present an elevated level of credit risk as the borrowers are not able to perform according to the original contractual terms.  Loans that are reported as TDR's are considered impaired and measured for impairment as described above.

The determination of the general reserve for loans that are not considered impaired and are collectively evaluated for impairment is based on estimates made by management, to include, but not limited to, consideration of historical losses by portfolio segment, internal asset classifications, and qualitative factors to include economic trends in the Company's service areas, industry experience and trends, geographic concentrations, estimated collateral values, the Company's underwriting policies, the character of the loan portfolio, and probable losses inherent in the portfolio taken as a whole.

The Company maintains a separate allowance for each portfolio segment (loan type).  These portfolio segments include commercial real estate, residential real estate and land loans.   The allowance for loan losses attributable to each portfolio segment, which includes both impaired loans that are individually evaluated for impairment and loans that are not considered impaired and are collectively evaluated for impairment, is combined to determine the Company's overall allowance, which is included on the consolidated balance sheet. The reserve for loans that are not considered impaired consists of reserve factors that are based on management's assessment of the following for each portfolio segment: (1) inherent credit risk, (2) historical losses, and (3) other qualitative factors.  These reserve factors are inherently subjective and are driven by the repayment risk associated with each portfolio segment described below.

Land Loans – These loans generally possess a higher inherent risk of loss than other real estate portfolio segments.  A major risk arises from the necessity to complete the projects within the specified costs and time lines. Trends in the construction industry significantly impact the credit quality of these loans as demand drives construction activity. In addition, trends in real estate values significantly impact the credit quality of these loans, as property values generally determine the economic viability of construction projects.

Commercial and Residential Real Estate Loans –Adverse economic developments or an overbuilt market impact commercial and residential real estate projects and may result in troubled loans.  Trends in vacancy rates of properties impact the credit quality of these loans.  High vacancy rates reduce operating revenues and the ability for properties to produce sufficient cash flow to service debt obligations.

Management monitors the credit quality of the Company's loan portfolio on an ongoing basis using certain credit quality indicators including a loan's delinquency status and internal asset classification. A loan is considered classified when it meets the definition of impaired as described above.

The following tables show the changes in the allowance for loan losses by portfolio segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 and the allocation of the allowance for loan losses and loans as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 by portfolio segment and by impairment methodology:

The recorded investment balances presented in the above tables include amounts advanced in addition to principal on impaired loans (such as property taxes, insurance and legal charges) that are reimbursable by borrowers and are included in interest and other receivables in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Interest income recognized on a cash basis for impaired loans approximates the interest income recognized as reflected in the tables above. The average recorded investment and interest income recognized on impaired loans with no related allowance recorded presented in the above tables are disclosed as such, even if these impaired loans may have had an allowance recorded at some point during the year. In addition, the calculations of average recorded investment and interest income recognized in the above tables include loans that had been outstanding for some period of time during the year, but for which there was no recorded investment at the end of the year.

Impairment Losses

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company recorded an impairment loss of approximately $282,000 on the marina property located in Bethel Island, California due to an agreement signed by the Company to sell the property at a price that was lower than the book value of the property.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company recorded an impairment loss of approximately $2,110,000 on the unimproved residential and commercial land located in Gypsum, Colorado due to a reduction in the fair market value estimated by management and a decrease in the listing price of the property.

Sales

During the three months ended June 30, 2017, the Company sold commercial and residential land under development and six condominium units located in South Lake Tahoe, California for aggregate net sales proceeds of approximately $51,206,000, resulting in total gain on sale of real estate of approximately $13,878,000.

During the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company also sold one parcel of land and one office property for aggregate net sales proceeds of approximately $872,000, resulting in an insignificant loss.

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company sold one industrial property and one office building in an office complex for aggregate net sales proceeds of approximately $6,479,000, resulting in total gain on sale of real estate of approximately $4,839,000.

Foreclosure Activity

There were no foreclosures during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017.

During the three months ended June 30, 2016, the Company foreclosed on one loan secured by an office property located in Oakdale, California with a principal balance of approximately $1,079,000 and obtained the property via the trustee's sale. In addition, accrued interest and advances made on the loan (for items such as legal fees and delinquent property taxes) in the total amount of approximately $70,000 were capitalized to the basis of the property. It was determined that the fair value of the property was lower than the Company's investment in the loan and a specific loan allowance was previously established of approximately $495,000. This amount was then recorded as a charge-off against the allowance for loan losses at the time of foreclosure, after a reduction of the previously established allowance in the amount of approximately $48,000 as a result of an updated appraisal obtained (net charge-off of $448,000). The property, along with a unit in the building purchased by the Company in 2015, was contributed into a new taxable REIT subsidiary, East G, LLC, in June 2016. The property was sold during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and the LLC was dissolved.

CB&T Line of Credit

In February 2014, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement and Advance Formula Agreement and related agreements with CB&T as the lender (the "CB&T Credit Facility").The agreements were amended and restated in April 2015, March 2016 and June 2017 to add First Bank and Umpqua Bank as additional lenders and to increase the maximum borrowings available (total commitment) under the facility to the lesser of a $75,000,000 maximum or the amount determined pursuant to a borrowing base calculation described in the Advance Formula Agreement (the "Total Current Commitment").  Borrowings under the CB&T Credit Facility mature on March 1, 2018.

Such borrowings bear interest payable monthly at the prime rate of interest established by CB&T from time-to-time plus one quarter percent (.25%) per annum (4.5% at June 30, 2017). Upon a default such interest rate increases by 2.00%. The original CB&T Credit Facility required the payment of an origination fee of $100,000 and other issuance costs totaling $177,000 that were capitalized to deferred financing costs and were being amortized to interest expense using the straight-line method through the maturity date of the CB&T Credit Facility (fully amortized as of June 30, 2017). The First Amendment required the payment of an origination fee and other costs totaling $255,000 that were capitalized to deferred financing costs and is being amortized to interest expense using the straight-line method through the new maturity date. The Company is also subject to certain ongoing administrative fees and expenses. Interest expense on the CB&T Credit Facility was approximately $71,000 and $304,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively (including $40,000 and $32,000, respectively, in amortization of deferred financing costs) and $231,000 and $493,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively (including $77,000 and $66,000, respectively, in deferred financing costs).

Borrowings are secured by certain assets of the Company. These collateral assets will include the grant to the lenders of first-priority deeds of trust on certain real property assets and trust deeds of the Company to be identified by the parties from time-to-time and all personal property of the Company, which collateral includes the assets described in the Security Agreement and in other customary collateral agreements that will be entered into by the parties from time-to-time. As of June 30, 2017, the carrying amount and classification of loans securing the CB&T Credit Facility were as follows:

Tahoe Stateline Venture, LLC Loan Payable
In December 2014, Tahoe Stateline Ventures, LLC ("TSV") entered into a Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement") and related documents with RaboBank, N.A. as the lender ("Lender") providing TSV with a loan (the "TSV Loan") of up to $14,500,000. TSV borrowed $10,445,000 at the first closing under the TSV Loan and an additional $3,830,000 was borrowed in September 2015.

The maturity date of the TSV Loan is January 1, 2021 (the "Maturity Date"). All outstanding borrowings under the TSV Loan documents bear interest initially at a rate of 3.47% per annum (the "Long Term Adjustable Rate"), provided that on January 1, 2018 the Long Term Adjustable Rate will be reset to Lender's then current market rate for three year fixed rate loans from comparable commercial real estate secured transactions, as determined by Lender in its sole discretion. Upon a default under the TSV Loan documents, the interest rate on the outstanding principal balance increases by an additional five percent (5.00%) per annum and the rate on any other outstanding obligations thereunder increases to ten percent (10.00%) per annum. Prepayments under the TSV Loan documents are subject to certain prepayment fees; provided that during the 90 day period immediately prior to January 1, 2018, and the 90 day period immediately prior to the Maturity Date, TSV may prepay the entire unpaid balance of the Loan in full, without any prepayment fee or penalty.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)



During the term of the TSV Loan, TSV will make equal combined payments of principal and accrued interest on the first day of each month in an amount calculated to fully amortize the original principal amount over a period of 300 months, subject to certain adjustments and the balance of the TSV Loan is due on the Maturity Date.

The Credit Agreement required the payment of a closing fee of $108,750 and certain administrative fees totaling approximately $218,000. The majority of these costs were paid out of proceeds from the loan and capitalized to deferred financing costs and are being amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method through the Maturity Date. During the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, approximately $126,000 and $129,000, respectively, of interest expense was incurred (including approximately $9,000 and $9,000, respectively, of deferred financing costs amortized to interest expense). During the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, approximately $253,000 and $259,000, respectively, of interest expense was incurred (including approximately $18,000 and $18,000, respectively, of deferred financing costs amortized to interest expense).

The TSV Loan documents contain financial covenants which are customary for loans of this type. Management is not aware of any breach of these covenants as of June 30, 2017.

Zalanta Construction Loan Payable
In August 2016, Zalanta Resort at the Village, LLC ("ZRV") and Zalanta Resort at the Village - Phase II, LLC ("ZRV II" and, together with ZRV, the "Borrowers") entered into a Construction Loan Agreement (the "Loan Agreement") and related documents with Western Alliance Bank as the lender ("Lender") providing the Borrowers with a loan (the "ZRV Loan") of up to $31,000,000, subject to the terms and conditions of the ZRV Loan documents, for the purpose of financing the construction of a new mixed-use retail and residential condominium building (the "Project") on land (the "Premises") owned by ZRV in South Lake Tahoe.

Borrowings under the ZRV Loan documents are only for payment or reimbursement of approved Project costs and such borrowings are subject to customary conditions for loans of this type.  The borrowings under the ZRV Loan may not exceed the lesser of (i) 60% of the value of the Project, determined on an "as is" basis; or (ii) 65% of the Borrowers' total costs of the Project, to be calculated in accordance with the Loan Agreement. All outstanding borrowings under the ZRV Loan will bear interest at the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate plus 1.50% (calculated on a floating daily basis) (the "Note Rate"), but in no event will the Note Rate be lower than the floor rate of five percent (5.0%) per annum. The Note Rate as of June 30, 2017 was 5.75%.  Upon a default under the Loan Agreement, the Note Rate increases by an additional five percent (5.0%) per annum.

Interest only payments are payable monthly from an established interest reserve. In addition, commencing with the quarter ended June 30, 2017 and continuing on the last day of each calendar quarter thereafter during the term of the ZRV Loan, Borrowers are required to make a quarterly repayment of $6 million of principal (the "Curtailment Requirement"). The balance of the ZRV Loan is due on August 3, 2018.

Borrowings are secured by: (i) a first mortgage lien on the Premises and certain additional property (the "Additional Premises") held by ZRV II and all improvements, amenities and appurtenances to the Premises and the Additional Premises, (ii) an assignment of all personal property, sales contracts, rents, leases, and ground leases associated with the Premises, and (iii) all design, development, service, management, leasing and construction contracts associated with the Premises.  In addition, ZRV has established a deposit account with Lender of $3,000,000 to be held as additional collateral for the ZRV Loan.

The ZRV Loan documents contain provisions that allow for the sale of individual condominiums in the Project during the term of the ZRV Loan and the removal of those units from the collateral base, in exchange for payment of proceeds of the sales to Lender.  Any such payment of sales proceeds to Lender will be applied to reduce the principal balance of the ZRV Loan and will reduce the quarterly Curtailment Requirement. Principal payments totaling approximately $8,779,000 were made during the quarter ended June 30, 2017 from the sale of six condominium units during the quarter.

The ZRV Loan documents contain financial covenants which are customary for loans of this type. Management is not aware of any breach of these covenants as of June 30, 2017.

NOTE 9 - TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

In consideration of the management services rendered to the Company pursuant to the management agreement between the Company and OFG (the "Management Agreement"), OFG is entitled to receive from the Company a management fee payable monthly, subject to a maximum of 2.75% per annum of the average unpaid balance of the Company's loans (the "Existing Management Fee').

All of the Company's loans are serviced by OFG, in consideration for which OFG receives a monthly fee, which, when added to all other fees paid in connection with the servicing of a particular loan, does not exceed the lesser of the customary, competitive fee paid in the community where the loan is placed for the provision of such mortgage services on that type of loan, or up to 0.25% per annum of the unpaid principal balance of the loans.

OFG, at its sole discretion may, on a monthly basis, adjust the Existing Management Fee and servicing fees as long as they do not exceed the allowable limits calculated on an annual basis. Even though the fees for a month may exceed 1/12 of the maximum limits, at the end of the calendar year the sum of the fees collected for each of the 12 months must be equal to or less than the stated limits. Management fees amounted to approximately $1,007,000 and $825,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $1,954,000 and $1,591,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and are included in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. Servicing fees amounted to approximately $92,000 and $75,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $178,000 and $145,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and are included in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company owed management and servicing fees to OFG in the amount of approximately $399,000 and $324,000, respectively.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 and the year ended December 31, 2016, OFG elected to take the maximum compensation that it is able to take pursuant to the Company's charter.  As further described below in "Note 14 – Subsequent Events – Adjustment of the Management Fee", however, the Board and the Manager have agreed to adjust the management fee payable for the interim period commencing July 1, 2017 and ending on the final day of the month in which the Company's next stockholders' meeting is held to a fee based on a percentage of the Company's stockholders' equity. As further described in Note 14, there will be no change to the servicing fees or reimbursements payable by the Company to the Manager, and the Manager would also continue to receive the fees paid by our borrowers to the Manager.

Pursuant to the charter, OFG receives all late payment charges from borrowers on loans owned by the Company. The amounts paid to or collected by OFG for such charges totaled approximately $8,000 and $4,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $22,000 and $6,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. In addition, the Company remits other miscellaneous fees to OFG, which are collected from loan payments, loan payoffs or advances from loan principal (i.e. funding, demand and partial release fees). The amounts paid to or collected by OFG for such fees totaled approximately $6,000 and $4,000, respectively, during the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 and $10,000 and $9,000, respectively, during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

OFG originates all loans the Company invests in and receives loan origination and extension fees from borrowers. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, OFG earned approximately $823,000 and $1,351,000, respectively, on loans originated or extended of approximately $36,356,000 and $63,011,000, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, OFG earned approximately $535,000 and $1,253,000, respectively, on loans originated or extended of approximately $19,015,000 and $54,165,000, respectively.

OFG is reimbursed by the Company for the actual cost of goods, services and materials used for or by the Company and paid by OFG and the salary and related salary expense of OFG's non-management and non-supervisory personnel performing services for the Company which could be performed by independent parties (subject to certain limitations in the Management Agreement). The amounts reimbursed to OFG by the Company for such services were $97,000 and $106,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $190,000 and $219,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, there was $30,000 and $36,000 payable to OFG for such services. The Company also reimbursed certain of OFG's officers for allowed expenses in the total amount of approximately $1,000 and $0 during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

The Company paid Investor's Yield, Inc. (a wholly owned subsidiary of OFG) approximately $0 and $3,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, in fees primarily related to certain foreclosure proceedings on Company loans.

Stock Repurchase Program

On December 11, 2015, the Board of Directors authorized a Rule 10b5-1 stock repurchase plan (the "2016 Repurchase Plan") under which the Company could purchase up to $7.5 million of its Common Stock. Under the 2016 Repurchase Plan, repurchases were to be funded from available working capital, and the repurchased shares were to return to the status of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock. The 2016 Repurchase Plan provided for stock repurchases to commence on April 1, 2016 and was subject to certain price, volume and timing constraints specified in the brokerage agreement. No shares were repurchased under the 2016 Repurchase Plan and it expired on March 31, 2017.

On June 9, 2017, the Board of Directors authorized a new Rule 10b5-1 stock repurchase plan (the "2017 Repurchase Plan") under which the Company may purchase up to $10 million of its Common Stock. Under the 2017 Repurchase Plan, repurchases will be funded from available working capital, and the repurchased shares will return to the status of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock. The 2017 Repurchase Plan provides for stock repurchases to commence on July 13, 2017 and is subject to certain price, volume and timing constraints specified in the brokerage agreement. There is no guarantee as to the exact number of shares that will be repurchased by the Company. The 2017 Repurchase Plan is set to expire on January 15, 2018, although the Company may terminate the Repurchase Plan at any time. As of August 4, 2017, the Company had repurchased 44,253 shares of its Common Stock under the 2017 Repurchase Plan for a total cost of approximately $762,000 (including commissions) and an average cost of $17.21 per share.

NOTE 11 – RESTRICTED CASH
Contingency Reserves
In accordance with the charter, the Company is required to maintain cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as contingency reserves in an aggregate amount of 1‑1/2% of Capital as defined in the charter. Although the Manager believes the contingency reserves are adequate, it could become necessary for the Company to sell or otherwise liquidate certain of its investments or other assets to cover such contingencies on terms which might not be favorable to the Company, which could lead to unanticipated losses upon sale of such assets.
The contingency reserves required per the charter as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 were approximately $3,777,000 and $3,738,000, respectively, and are reported as part of restricted cash in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The $6,500,000 required to be held in non-interest bearing accounts as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 pursuant to certain of the Company's credit agreements satisfied this contingency reserve requirement.
NOTE 12 – FAIR VALUE
The Company discloses fair value of its financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities pursuant to ASC 820 – Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.  ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.
Fair value is defined in ASC 820 as 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. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1       Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2       Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or
liabilities; quoted prices in active markets that are not active; or other inputs that are
observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full
term of the assets or liabilities

Level 3       Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity, such as the
Company's own data or assumptions.

Level 3 inputs include unobservable inputs that are used when there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability measured at fair value. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Management's assessment of the significance of a particular input requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability being measured.

Management monitors the availability of observable market data to assess the appropriate classification of financial instruments within the fair value hierarchy. Changes in economic conditions or model-based valuation techniques may require the transfer of financial instruments from one fair value level to another.  In such instances, the transfer is reported at the beginning of the reporting period.
 
28

OWENS REALTY MORTGAGE, INC.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)



Management evaluates the significance of transfers between levels based upon the nature of the financial instrument and size of the transfer relative to total assets, total liabilities or total earnings.

The following is a description of the Company's valuation methodologies used to measure and disclose the fair values of its financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities on a nonrecurring basis. There were no assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis.
Impaired Loans
The Company does not record loans at fair value on a recurring basis. However, from time to time, a loan may be considered impaired and a specific allowance for loan losses is established.  A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan. Once a loan is identified as impaired, management measures impairment in accordance with ASC 310-10-35.  The fair value of impaired loans is estimated by either an observable market price (if available) or the fair value of the underlying collateral, if collateral dependent.  The fair value of the loan's collateral is determined by third party appraisals (by licensed appraisers), broker price opinions, comparable property sales or other indications of value. Those impaired loans not requiring an allowance represent loans for which the fair value of the collateral exceed the recorded investments in such loans. At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, all impaired loans were evaluated based on the fair value of the collateral by obtaining third party appraisals that valued the collateral primarily by utilizing an income or market approach or some combination of the two.  In accordance with ASC 820, impaired loans where an allowance is established based on the fair value of collateral require classification in the fair value hierarchy.  Because appraisals used by management generally include significant unobservable inputs and market data, the Company records the impaired loan as nonrecurring Level 3. Unobservable market data included in appraisals often includes adjustments to comparable property sales for such items as location, size and quality to estimate fair values using a sales comparison approach.  Unobservable market data also includes cash flow assumptions and capitalization rates used to estimate fair values under an income approach.

Real Estate Held for Sale and Investment
Real estate held for sale and investment includes properties acquired through foreclosure of the related loans. When property is acquired, any excess of the Company's recorded investment in the loan and accrued interest income over the estimated fair market value of the property, net of estimated selling costs, is charged against the allowance for loan losses. Subsequently, real estate properties held for sale are carried at the lower of carrying value or fair value less costs to sell. The Company periodically compares the carrying value of real estate held for investment to expected future cash flows as determined by internally or third party generated valuations (including third party appraisals that primarily utilize an income or market approach or some combination of the two) for the purpose of assessing the recoverability of the recorded amounts. If the carrying value exceeds future undiscounted cash flows, the assets are reduced to fair value. The fair value of real estate held for sale and investment is estimated using appraisals in a manner similar to that of collateral dependent impaired loans described above which generally results in a Level 2 or Level 3 classification in the fair value hierarchy.

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating the fair value of each class of financial instruments:

Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash: The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash approximates the fair value because of the liquidity and/or relatively short maturity of these instruments and are classified as Level 1.

Loans, net: Except as it relates to impaired loans measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis discussed previously, the fair value of loans is estimated using discounted cash flow methodology, using discount rates, which, in the opinion of management, best reflect current market interest rates that would be offered for loans with similar characteristics and credit quality but are often unobservable resulting in a Level 3 classification. Accrued interest and advances receivable relate to loans and are thus classified as Level 3.
 
32

OWENS REALTY MORTGAGE, INC.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)


 
Investment in limited liability company: The fair value of the Company's investment in limited liability company is estimated based on an appraisal obtained and is classified as Level 3 because the appraisal itself and/or adjustments thereto include unobservable data similar to the unobservable data discussed in the disclosures related to assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.

Line of credit payable: The fair values of the Company's line of credit is estimated based upon a discounted cash flow model using comparable market indicators of current pricing for the same or similar issue or on the current rate offered to the Company for debt of the same remaining maturity and is generally observable resulting in a Level 2 classification. Accrued interest payable associated with the lines of credit is also classified as Level 2.

Notes and loans payable: The fair values of the Company's notes and loans payable and related accrued interest payable are estimated based upon a discounted cash flow model using comparable market indicators of current pricing for the same or similar issues or on the current rates offered to the Company for debt of the same remaining maturities resulting in either a Level 2 or Level 3 classification. Generally, Level 2 inputs are used for notes and loans payable with maturities of one year or less or that have been entered into in relatively close proximity to the balance sheet date and Level 3 inputs are used for other notes and loans payable. Accrued interest payable associated with the notes and loans payable is also classified as either Level 2 or Level 3.

NOTE 13 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Contractual Obligations

The Company has entered into various contracts for design, architectural, engineering, foundation work and construction for the development of the land owned by ZRV. The aggregate amount of these contracts totaled approximately $34,285,000 of which approximately $34,042,000 had been incurred as of June 30, 2017 in addition to other capitalized costs related to the construction project of $5,395,000 (total of $39,437,000). Management expects that all costs for this project will be paid from advances from the construction loan, advances from the CB&T Credit Facility and/or cash reserves. It is possible that additional change orders will be submitted and construction costs may be higher than expected.

As of June 30, 2017, the Company has commitments to advance additional funds to borrowers of construction, rehabilitation and other loans in the total amount of approximately $33,636,000 (including approximately $4,720,000 in interest reserves).
Legal Proceedings

The Company is involved in various legal actions arising in the normal course of business.  In the opinion of management, such matters will not have a material effect upon the financial position of the Company.

NOTE 14 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Adjustment of the Management Fee

At a meeting of the Board of Directors held on August 7, 2017, the Company's Board of Directors and the Manager agreed to adjust the management fee to be paid (in cash) monthly in arrears to the Manager for the interim period commencing the month of July 2017 and ending on the final day of the month in which the next Company stockholders' meeting is held (the "Adjustment Period").  During each month in the Adjustment Period, the Existing Management Fee to be paid monthly would be reduced (but not increased) to the amount of the "Interim Management Fee" calculated as follows:

1.
The "Interim Management Fee" is equal to (i) one-twelfth (1/12) multiplied by (ii) 1.50% of the "Opening Stockholders' Equity Balance" (defined below), with such Opening Stockholders' Equity Balance to be adjusted by the Manager in the following manner:
 
33

OWENS REALTY MORTGAGE, INC.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)



(A) at the end of a calendar month to reflect any changes that result from any of the events specified in clause (A) in the definition of "Stockholders' Equity" (defined below) during such calendar month from the Opening Stockholders' Equity Balance; and

(B) at the end of a calendar quarter to reflect any changes that result from the components specified in clauses (B), (C) or (D) in the definition of "Stockholders' Equity" for such calendar quarter from the Opening Stockholders' Equity Balance.

Since the Management Fee is to be paid monthly during the Adjustment Period, and the components of Stockholders' Equity specified in clauses (B), (C) and (D) in the definition of "Stockholders' Equity" will not be known until the end of the quarter in question, the Manager shall use the prior quarter's value as an estimate for each monthly payment and will effect a reconciliation at the end of the quarter, so that the actual aggregate Management Fee paid for each quarter will be based on the values of the components specified in clauses (B), (C) and (D) in the definition of "Stockholders' Equity" at the end of that particular quarter as if the components specified in clauses (B), (C) and (D) were known at each month end.

2.
As used in the calculation of the Interim Management Fee, "Stockholders' Equity" means:

(A) the sum of the net proceeds from any issuances of the Company's equity securities since inception (including the book value of the Company's Common Stock and Additional Paid-in Capital at inception of the Company) less any amount that the Company pays for repurchases of its equity securities (determined as of the most recent month end), plus

Overview and Background

We are a specialty finance company that focuses on the origination, investment and management of commercial real estate mortgage loans.  We provide customized, short-term capital to small and middle-market investors and developers who require speed and flexibility. We are organized and conduct our operations to qualify as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, for U.S. federal income tax purposes. We are externally managed and advised by Owens Financial Group, Inc. ("OFG" or the "Manager"), a specialized commercial real estate management company that has originated, serviced and managed alternative commercial real estate investments since 1951.

The Company is a Maryland corporation formed to reorganize the business of its predecessor, OMIF, into a publicly traded REIT. OMIF was a California Limited Partnership registered with the SEC that was formed in 1983 for the purposes of funding and servicing short-term commercial real estate loans. Beginning in 2009, OMIF experienced liquidity issues as its borrowers were unable to access credit sources to pay off its loans.  OMIF eventually foreclosed on a substantial portion of its loan portfolio, repositioning many of the properties for investment or eventual sale.  OMIF also experienced a significant increase in capital withdrawal requests that it was unable to honor due to insufficient cash, net of reserves and restrictions under the terms of its bank line of credit. In addition, OMIF was restricted by provisions within the partnership agreement from making additional investments in mortgage loans while qualified redemption requests remained pending and unpaid. In addition to increasing investor liquidity through public listing of its stock, the Company was created to provide the opportunity for resuming mortgage lending activities, with the goal of increasing income to stockholders.

On May 20, 2013, OMIF merged with and into the Company with the Company as the surviving entity, succeeding to and continuing the operations of OMIF. The Company now, by virtue of the Merger, directly or indirectly owns all of the assets and business formerly owned by OMIF. The Company is a deemed successor issuer to OMIF pursuant to Rule 12g-3(a) under the Exchange Act, and on July 1, 2013, the Company's Common Stock was listed on the NYSE MKT exchange. For accounting purposes, the Merger was treated as a transfer of assets and exchange of shares between entities under common control. The accounting basis used to initially record the assets and liabilities in the Company was the carryover basis of OMIF.

Our primary sources of revenue are interest income earned on our loan portfolio and revenues we generate from our operating real estate assets. We have resumed originating loans and believe the Company is well positioned to capitalize on lending opportunities as the economy continues to recover. However, there can be no assurances that we will be able to identify and make loans to suitable commercial real estate borrowers or have adequate capital and liquidity to fund such loans.

35





Our operating results are affected primarily by:

·
the level of foreclosures and related loan and real estate losses experienced;
·
the income or losses from foreclosed properties prior to the time of disposal;
·
the amount of cash available to invest in loans;
·
the amount of borrowing to finance loan investments and our cost of funds on such borrowing;
·
the level of real estate lending activity in the markets serviced;
·
the ability to identify and lend to suitable borrowers;
·
the interest rates we are able to charge on loans; and
·
the level of delinquencies on loans.

Between 2008 and 2013, we experienced increased delinquent loans and foreclosures which created substantial losses. As a result, we owned significantly more real estate than in the past, which has reduced cash flow and net income. As of June 30, 2017, approximately 3.2% of our loans are impaired and/or past maturity. As of June 30, 2017, we own approximately $84 million (book value) of real estate held for sale or investment, which is approximately 32% of total assets. During the six month period ended June 30, 2017, we sold four real estate properties for aggregate net sales proceeds of $52,078,000 and gains totaling $13,878,000. We will continue to attempt to sell certain of our properties but may need to sell them for losses or wait until market values recover. In addition, under the REIT tax rules, we may be subject to a "prohibited transaction" penalty tax on tax gains from the sale of our properties in certain circumstances. In addition, we are also limited in the number and dollar amount of properties we can sell in a given year under the REIT tax rules.

Although management currently believes that only one of our delinquent loans will result in a credit loss to the Company (and has caused the Company to record a specific allowance for loan losses on such loan), real estate values could decrease further. Management continues to perform frequent evaluations of such collateral values using internal and external sources, including the use of updated independent appraisals.  As a result of these evaluations, the allowance for loan losses and our investments in real estate could change in the near term, and such changes could be material.

Our website can be found at www.owensmortgage.com. We make available through the website, access to our annual and quarterly financial statements, current reports on Form 8-K, and amendments to those reports, as well as proxy statements and other periodic reports and filings submitted to the SEC. We also provide access to certain Company presentations, fact sheets, press releases and corporate governance information.

Business Strategy

Our primary business objective is to provide our stockholders with attractive risk-adjusted returns by producing consistent and predictable dividends while maintaining a strong balance sheet. We believe we have positioned the Company for future growth and seek to increase distributions to stockholders through active portfolio management and execution of our business plan which is outlined below:

·
Capitalize on market lending opportunity by leveraging our existing origination network to expand our commercial real estate loan portfolio.
·
Enhance and reposition our commercial real estate assets through the investment of capital and strategic management.
·
Increase liquidity available for lending activities by focusing on opportunities to remove real estate assets from our balance sheet.
·
Manage leverage to marginally expand sources of liquidity while maintaining a conservative balance sheet.

Current Market Conditions, Risks and Recent Trends

Our ability to execute our business strategy, particularly the growth of our loan portfolio, is dependent on many factors, including our ability to access financing on favorable terms.  The previous economic downturn had a significant negative impact on both us and our borrowers.  If similar economic conditions recur in the future, it may limit our options for obtaining financing on favorable terms and may also adversely impact the creditworthiness of our borrowers which could result in their inability to repay their loans.

36



The commercial real estate markets continue to improve, but uncertainty remains as a result of global market instability, the current political climate and other matters and their potential impact on the U.S. economy and commercial real estate markets.  In addition, the growth in multifamily rental rates seen over the past few years are showing signs of stabilizing. If real estate values decline again and/or rent growth subsides, it may limit our new loan originations since borrowers often use increases in the value of, and revenues produced from, their existing properties to support the purchase or investment in additional properties.  Declining real estate values may also significantly increase the likelihood that we will incur losses on our loans in the event of default because the value of our collateral may be insufficient to cover our investment in the loan.  Any sustained period of increased payment delinquencies, foreclosures or losses could adversely affect both our interest income from loans as well as our ability to originate loans, which would significantly impact our revenues, results of operations, financial condition, business prospects and our ability to make distributions to our stockholders.
 
The economic environment over the past few years has seen continued improvement in commercial real estate values which has generally increased payoffs and reduced the credit exposure in our loan portfolio.  We have made, and continue to make, modifications and extensions to loans when it is economically feasible to do so.  In some cases, a modification is a more viable alternative to foreclosure proceedings when a borrower cannot comply with loan terms.  In doing so, lower borrower interest rates, combined with non-performing loans, would lower our net interest margins when comparing interest income to our costs of financing.  If the markets were to deteriorate and another prolonged economic downturn was to occur, we believe there could be additional loan modifications and delinquencies, which may result in reduced net interest margins and additional losses throughout our sector.

We believe that improvement in commercial real estate values has also resulted in increased values of some of our real estate assets. Accordingly, as our real estate assets are carried at the lower of carrying value or fair value less costs to sell, it is possible that we have substantial imbedded gains in certain of our real estate properties held for sale and investment that are not reflected in our financial statements or in the value of our stock.

Recent increases in market interest rates have increased interest expense under our Credit Facility and certain other of our borrowings that bear interest at variable rates.  Due to competitive conditions in our markets, we have been unable to pass increases in our cost of funds through to our borrowers on the majority of our recent loan investments and, accordingly, the interest rates we receive on our loans has remained relatively unchanged.  While we currently have no amounts outstanding on our line of credit, this increase in our cost of funds without corresponding increases in the rates we charge our borrowers will result in a smaller interest margin and, if these conditions continue, may adversely affect our results of operations in the future.

Critical Accounting Policies

Please refer to the section of ORM's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 entitled "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations —Critical Accounting Policies" for a discussion of our critical accounting policies. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, there were no material changes to these policies.

Results of Operations

Net income attributable to our common stockholders increased approximately $7,637,000 and $3,095,000 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2016. These increases in 2017 were primarily a result of the following:

·
An increase in gain on sales of real estate of $13,878,000 and $9,039,000 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, as compared to 2016, as a result of the sales of two and four real estate properties during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, resulting in gain on sales of real estate totaling $13,878,000 (the largest of which was gain on the sale of the TSV land of approximately $13,211,000). We sold no properties during the three months ended June 30, 2016 and two properties (resulting in gain on sales of real estate totaling $4,839,000) during the six months ended June 30, 2016.
 
37




 
·
An increase in interest income on loans of $445,000 and $949,000 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, as compared to 2016, due primarily to an increase in the average balance of performing loans between the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 of 28% and 29%, respectively.

·
A decrease in interest expense of $644,000 and $1,040,000 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, as compared to 2016, due to the sale of the TOTB Miami properties and the repayment of the debt securing the properties during the third quarter of 2016 and due to a decrease in the average balance on our line of credit during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, as compared to 2016, as we repaid the line of credit in full with the sale of the TSV land in April 2017.

·
A decrease in impairment losses on real estate properties of $1,829,000 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, as compared to 2016, as a result of an impairment loss recorded on the unimproved residential and commercial land located in Gypsum, Colorado during 2016 (which was subsequently sold), whereas we recorded an impairment loss of $282,000 on the marina located in Bethel Island, California during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017.

These items that increased net income during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 were partially offset by the following:

·
An increase in income tax expense (from income tax benefit) of $8,193,000 and $8,183,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, as compared to 2016, as a result of the sale of six condominium units in ZRV during 2017 for gains of approximately $667,000 and an increase in the valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets as a result of higher construction costs and lower expected gains from the sales of the ZRV assets in the future. The income tax benefit during 2016 was due to the conversion of ZRV into a taxable REIT subsidiary and the contribution of additional real estate assets into ZRV with book and tax basis differences that required the recording of deferred tax assets.

·
A decrease in rental and other income from real estate properties net of expenses on such properties of $659,000 and $1,265,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 (from income of $402,000 and $752,000 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 to losses of $256,000 and $513,000 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017) as a result of the sale of four properties during 2016, a one-time increase in property assessments levied on our property located in Tacoma, Washington, decreased revenue on our golf course located in Auburn, California primarily a result of inclement weather in Northern California, increased operating expenses on our assisted living facility located in Bensalem, Pennsylvania and increased marketing and other operating costs related to the ZRV condominiums recently completed. Many of the remaining properties held by us are non-operating properties that do not generate income and, thus, will likely continue to generate a loss until they are disposed of in 2017 and beyond.
·
 An increase in management and service fees of $198,000 and $397,000 due to an increase in the average balance of loans in the Company's portfolio of 22% and 23% during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2016.

We believe, from period to period in the near term, there could be fluctuations in earnings and net income resulting from the lag time between the sale of our real estate assets and deployment of the proceeds into new loan investments.

Revenues

Interest income on loans increased $445,000 (20% increase) during the three months ended June 30, 2017, as compared to 2016. This increase was primarily due to an increase in the average balance of performing loans between the quarter ended June 30, 2017 and the quarter ended June 30, 2016 of approximately 28%.

Rental and other income from real estate properties decreased $1,272,000 (52% decrease) during the three months ended June 30, 2017, as compared to 2016, primarily due to the sale of four properties during the year ended December 31, 2016. These properties had rental income totaling approximately $1,192,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2016. There was also a decrease in income from our golf course located in Auburn, California of approximately $86,000 during the quarter ended June 30, 2017 as compared to 2016.

Expenses

Management fees increased $182,000 (22% increase) and servicing fees increased $17,000 (22% increase) during the three months ended June 30, 2017, as compared to 2016, due to an increase in the average balance of loans in our portfolio of 22% during the three months ended June 30, 2017, as compared to 2016.

The maximum management fee permitted under the Company's charter is 2.75% per year of the average unpaid balance of mortgage loans and, accordingly, management fees increased proportionately as we deployed capital into loans and increased our loan balances. As discussed in "Note 14 – Subsequent Events – Adjustment of the Management Fee", the Board and the Manager have agreed to adjust the Existing Management Fee during the Adjustment Period, and this adjustment may result in payment (during this period) of management fees that are lower than the maximum fees permitted to be paid pursuant to the Company's charter.
 
39



General and administrative expense increased $196,000 (56% increase) during the three months ended June 30, 2017, as compared to 2016. The increase was due primarily to higher legal and consulting expenses during 2017 as compared to 2016 as a result of shareholder activism and regulatory compliance matters.

Rental and other expenses on real estate properties decreased $613,000 (30% decrease) during the three months ended June 30, 2017, as compared to 2016, primarily due to the sale of four properties during the year ended December 31, 2016. These properties had rental expenses totaling approximately $997,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2016. The decrease from the sale of these properties was offset by a one-time increase in property assessments levied on our mixed-use property located in Tacoma, Washington in the amount of approximately $98,000, disbursements of $200,000 related to certain operating expenses of our assisted living facility located in Bensalem, Pennsylvania and increased marketing and other operating costs related to the ZRV condominiums (recently completed) at our property located in South Lake Tahoe, California during the quarter ended June 30, 2017. We will continue to have increased operating costs of the ZRV property until such time as the remaining condominium units are sold and the commercial units are leased and/or sold.

Interest expense decreased $644,000 (64% decrease) during the three months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to 2016, due to the sale of the TOTB Miami properties and the repayment of the debt securing the properties during the third quarter of 2016 and due to a decrease in the average balance on our line of credit during the quarter ended June 30, 2017, as compared to 2016, as we repaid the line of credit in full with the sale of the TSV land in April 2017.

The provision for loan losses of $137,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2017 was the result of an analysis performed on the loan portfolio. The general loan loss allowance increased $164,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2017 primarily due to an increase in the balance of performing loans during the quarter. This was offset by a $27,000 recovery of bad debts during the three months ended June 30, 2017. We recorded a provision for loan losses of $275,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2016.

The impairment losses on real estate properties of $282,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2017 was the result of an agreement signed to sell our marina located in Bethel Island, California at a price that was lower than the book value. We recorded an impairment loss of $2,110,000 on the unimproved residential and commercial land located in Gypsum, Colorado during the three months ended June 30, 2016.

Gain on Sales of Real Estate

Gain on sales of real estate increased $13,878,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2017, as compared to 2016, as a result of the sale of two real estate properties during 2016, resulting in gains totaling $13,878,000 (see further detail under "Real Estate Properties Held for Sale and Investment" below). We sold no real estate properties during the three months ended June 30, 2016.
Income Tax Expense/Benefit

We recorded income tax expense of $824,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to income tax benefit of $7,369,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2016. The income tax expense during the quarter ended June 30, 2017 was primarily the result of the sale of six condominium units in ZRV during the quarter for gains of approximately $667,000 and an increase in the valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets as a result of higher construction costs and lower expected gains from the sales of ZRV assets in the future. The income tax benefit during the quarter ended June 30, 2016 was a result of the transfer of two properties into ZRV and conversion of ZRV into a taxable REIT subsidiary during the quarter ended June 30, 2016, which made the income (loss) from these real estate assets taxable. Due to differences between the book and tax basis of the assets, a deferred tax asset and related income tax benefit totaling $7,369,000 was recorded as of June 30, 2016. The Company's effective tax rate for 2016 differed from the statutory tax rate because the three properties held within the ZRV TRS had differences between their respective book basis and tax basis and management projected that the Company would realize the benefits from deferred tax assets related to these basis differences. As a result, a $7,369,000 deferred tax benefit was recorded during 2016.

40



Net Loss Attributable to Non-Controlling Interests

Net loss attributable to non-controlling interests decreased $57,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2017, as compared to 2016, because there was a net loss attributable to our joint venture partner (the Manager) in TOTB Miami, LLC of approximately $57,000 during the quarter ended June 30, 2016, as opposed to none during the quarter ended June 30, 2017, as the properties held within TOTB were sold in September 2016 and the LLC dissolved.

Revenues

Interest income on loans increased $949,000 (22% increase) during the six months ended June 30, 2017, as compared to 2016. This increase was primarily due to an increase in the average balance of performing loans between the six months ended June 30, 2017 and the six months ended June 30, 2016 of approximately 29%.

Rental and other income from real estate properties decreased $2,465,000 (54% decrease) during the six months ended June 30, 2017, as compared to 2016, primarily due to the sale of four properties during the year ended December 31, 2016. These properties had rental income totaling approximately $2,384,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2016. There was also a decrease in income from our golf course located in Auburn, California of approximately $156,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to 2016 primarily due to inclement weather in Northern California.

41



Expenses

Management fees increased $364,000 (23% increase) and servicing fees increased $33,000 (23% increase) during the six months ended June 30, 2017, as compared to 2016, due to an increase in the average balance of loans in our portfolio of 23% during the six months ended June 30, 2017, as compared to 2016.

General and administrative expense increased $126,000 (14% increase) during the six months ended June 30, 2017, as compared to 2016. The increase was due primarily to higher legal and consulting expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to 2016 as a result of shareholder activism and regulatory compliance matters.

Rental and other expenses on real estate properties decreased $1,200,000 (31% decrease) during the six months ended June 30, 2017, as compared to 2016, primarily due to the sale of four properties during the year ended December 31, 2016. These properties had rental expenses totaling approximately $1,822,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2016. The decrease from the sale of these properties was offset by a one-time increase in property assessments levied on our mixed-use property located in Tacoma, Washington in the amount of approximately $268,000, disbursements of $200,000 related to certain operating expenses of our assisted living facility located in Bensalem, Pennsylvania and increased marketing and other operating costs related to the Zalanta condominiums (recently completed) at our property located in South Lake Tahoe, California during the six months ended June 30, 2017. We will continue to have increased operating costs of the Zalanta property until such time as the remaining condominium units are sold and the commercial units are leased and/or sold.

Interest expense decreased $1,040,000 (62% decrease) during the six months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to 2016, due to the sale of the TOTB Miami properties and the repayment of the debt securing the properties during the third quarter of 2016 and due to a decrease in the average balance on our line of credit during the six months ended June 30, 2017, as compared to 2016, as we repaid the line of credit in full with the sale of the TSV land in April 2017.

The provision for loan losses of $175,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2017 was the result of an analysis performed on the loan portfolio. The general loan loss allowance increased $202,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2017 primarily due to an increase in the balance of performing loans during the period. This was offset by a $27,000 recovery of bad debts during the six months ended June 30, 2017. We recorded a provision for loan losses of $386,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2016.

The impairment losses on real estate properties of $282,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2017 was the result of an agreement signed to sell our marina located in Bethel Island, California at a price that was lower than the book value. We recorded an impairment loss of $2,110,000 on the unimproved residential and commercial land located in Gypsum, Colorado during the six months ended June 30, 2016.

Gain on Sales of Real Estate

Gain on sales of real estate increased $9,039,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2017, as compared to 2016, as a result of the sale of four real estate properties during 2017, resulting in net gains totaling $13,878,000 (see further detail under "Real Estate Properties Held for Sale and Investment" below). During the six months ended June 30, 2016, we sold one industrial property and one office building in an office complex for gains totaling approximately $4,839,000.
Income Tax Expense/Benefit

We recorded income tax expense of $814,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to income tax benefit of $7,369,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2016. The income tax expense during the six months ended June 30, 2017 was primarily the result of the sale of six condominium units in ZRV during the period for gains of approximately $667,000 and an increase in the valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets as a result of higher construction costs and lower expected gains from the sales of ZRV assets in the future. The income tax benefit during the six months ended June 30, 2016 was a result of the transfer of two properties into ZRV and conversion of ZRV into a taxable REIT subsidiary during the quarter ended June 30, 2016, which made the income (loss) from these real estate assets taxable. Due to differences between the book and tax basis of the assets, a deferred tax asset and related income tax benefit totaling $7,369,000 was recorded as of June 30, 2016. The Company's effective tax rate for 2016 differed from the statutory tax rate because the three properties held within the ZRV TRS had differences between their respective book basis and tax basis and management projected that the Company would realize the benefits from deferred tax assets related to these basis differences. As a result, a $7,369,000 deferred tax benefit was recorded during 2016.

42



Net Loss Attributable to Non-Controlling Interests

Net loss attributable to non-controlling interests decreased $43,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2017, as compared to 2016, because there was a net loss attributable to our joint venture partner (the Manager) in TOTB Miami, LLC of approximately $43,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2016, as opposed to none during the six months ended June 30, 2017, as the properties held within TOTB were sold in September 2016 and the LLC dissolved.

Financial Condition

June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016

Loan Portfolio

During the quarter ended June 30, 2017, we originated or funded seven new loans with aggregate principal balances totaling $24,818,000 ($32,730,000 when fully funded) and advanced additional amounts to borrowers on existing loans of approximately $4,156,000 (total of $28,974,000). Six of the new loans are incrementally funded for construction, renovation and/or interest and have $7,912,000 available to be funded in the future. We extended the maturity dates of three loans (between 12 and 18 months) with principal balances aggregating approximately $3,200,000 during the quarter ended June 30, 2017. We also received full or partial payoffs (including principal amortization) on six loans totaling $6,027,000 during the quarter.

Our portfolio of loan investments increased from 55 to 58 and the average loan balance increased from $2,358,000 to $2,753,000, between December 31, 2016 and June 30, 2017.

As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had two loans that were impaired totaling approximately $2,835,000 (1.8%) and $4,884,000 (3.8%), respectively.  This included matured loans totaling $2,613,000 (1.6%) and $4,656,000 (3.6%), respectively. In addition, $2,210,000 (1.4%) and $8,686,000 (6.7%) of loans were past maturity but current with respect to monthly payments as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 (combined total of impaired and past maturity loans of $5,045,000 (3.2%) and $13,570,000 (10.5%), respectively). As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, no loans were in the process of foreclosure or involved borrowers who were in bankruptcy.

As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, approximately $159,430,000 (99.9%) and $129,454,000 (99.8%) of our loans are interest-only and require the borrower to make a "balloon payment" on the principal amount upon maturity of the loan. To the extent that a borrower has an obligation to pay mortgage loan principal in a large lump sum payment, its ability to satisfy this obligation may be dependent upon its ability to sell the property, obtain suitable refinancing or otherwise raise a substantial cash amount. As a result, these loans involve a higher risk of default than fully amortizing loans. Borrowers occasionally are not able to pay the full amount due at the maturity date.  We may allow these borrowers to continue making the regularly scheduled monthly interest payments for certain periods of time to assist the borrower in meeting the balloon payment obligation without formally filing a notice of default.  These loans for which the principal is due and payable, but the borrower has failed to make such payment of principal, are referred to as "past maturity loans". As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had four and eight past maturity loans totaling approximately $4,823,000 and $13,342,000, respectively.

Our variable rate loans currently use as an index the three-month or six-month LIBOR rates (1.30% and 1.45%, respectively, as of June 30, 2017), or include terms whereby the interest rate is increased at a later date. Premiums over the index vary for each loan and all such loans have specified floor rates.

As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, our loans secured by real property collateral located in Northern California totaled approximately 47% ($74,827,000) and 53% ($69,179,000), respectively, of the loan portfolio. The Northern California region (which includes Monterey, Fresno, Kings, Tulare and Inyo counties and all counties north) is a large geographic area which has a diversified economic base. The ability of borrowers to repay loans is influenced by the economic strength of the region and the impact of prevailing market conditions on the value of real estate.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses decreased by $85,000 and $62,000 (allowance net of charge-offs) during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.  Management believes that the allowance is appropriate given the estimated underlying collateral values of impaired loans and estimates of probable incurred credit losses on loans not considered to be impaired. There is no precise method used to predict delinquency rates or losses on specific loans.  Management has considered the number and amount of delinquent loans, loans subject to workout agreements and loans in bankruptcy in determining the allowance for loan losses, but there can be no absolute assurance that the allowance is sufficient.  Because any decision regarding allowance for loan losses reflects judgment about the probability of losses yet to be realized, there is an inherent risk that such judgments will prove incorrect.  Upon realization, actual losses may exceed (or be less than) the amount of any reserve.  To the extent that we experience losses greater than the amount of our reserves, we may incur a charge to earnings that will adversely affect operating results and the amount of any dividends paid.

Changes in the allowance for loan losses for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 were as follows:

As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, there was a general allowance for loan losses of $2,176,390 and $1,974,110, respectively, and a specific allowance for loan losses on one loan in the amount of $445,065 and $732,712, respectively, as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

Real Estate Properties Held for Sale and Investment

As of June 30, 2017, we held title to nineteen properties that were acquired through foreclosure with a total carrying amount of approximately $84,276,000 (including properties held in two corporations and five limited liability companies), net of accumulated depreciation on real estate held for investment of $3,652,000. As of June 30, 2017, properties held for sale total $49,030,000 and properties held for investment total $35,246,000. When we acquire property by foreclosure, we typically earn less income on those properties than could be earned on loans and may not be able to sell the properties in a timely manner.

Real estate properties held for sale as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 consisted of the following properties acquired through foreclosure:

Ten of the Company's nineteen properties do not currently generate revenue. Five of the Company's twenty-four commercial leases are set to expire during the twelve months ending June 30, 2018. All of the Company's eleven residential leases are either on a month-to-month basis or will expire during the twelve months ended June 30, 2018. The Company expects that new leases will be signed with existing or new tenants for the majority of these spaces and at rental rates that are at market and are at or above expiring rental amounts.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, we recorded an impairment loss of approximately $282,000 on the marina property located in Bethel Island, California due to an agreement signed by the Company to sell the property at a price that was lower than the book value of the property.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, we recorded an impairment loss of approximately $2,110,000 on the unimproved residential and commercial land located in Gypsum, Colorado due to a reduction in the fair market value estimated by management and a decrease in the listing price of the property.

Foreclosure Activity

We foreclosed on no loans during the six months ended June 30, 2017.

During the three months ended June 30, 2016, the Company foreclosed on one loan secured by an office property located in Oakdale, California with a principal balance of approximately $1,079,000 and obtained the property via the trustee's sale. In addition, accrued interest and advances made on the loan (for items such as legal fees and delinquent property taxes) in the total amount of approximately $70,000 were capitalized to the basis of the property. It was determined that the fair value of the property was lower than the Company's investment in the loan and a specific loan allowance was previously established of approximately $495,000. This amount was then recorded as a charge-off against the allowance for loan losses at the time of foreclosure, after reversal of the previously established allowance in the amount of approximately $48,000 as a result of an updated appraisal obtained (net charge-off of $448,000). The property was sold during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and the LLC dissolved.

Equity Method Investment in Limited Liability Company

1850 De La Cruz, LLC

During 2008, we entered into an Operating Agreement for 1850 De La Cruz LLC, a California limited liability company ("1850"), with Nanook Ventures LLC ("Nanook"), an unrelated party.  The purpose of the joint venture is to, own and operate certain industrial land and buildings located in Santa Clara, California that were owned by the Company. At the time of closing in July 2008, the two properties were separately contributed to two new limited liability companies, Nanook Ventures One LLC and Nanook Ventures Two LLC that are wholly owned by 1850. The Company and Nanook are the Members of 1850 and NV Manager, LLC is the manager.

48



The net income to the Company from its investment in 1850 De La Cruz was approximately $46,000 and $45,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $90,000 and $87,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash increased from approximately $6,934,000 as of December 31, 2016 to $11,172,000 as of June 30, 2017 ($4,238,000 or 61% increase) primarily to the sale of the TSV land in April 2017 which generated net proceeds of approximately $42.3 million.

Interest and Other Receivables

Interest and other receivables increased from approximately $2,164,000 as of December 31, 2016 to $2,376,000 as of June 30, 2017 ($211,000 or 10% increase) due primarily to growth in the loan portfolio during the six month period.

Deferred Financing Costs

Deferred financing costs accounted for as assets decreased from approximately $172,000 as of December 31, 2016 to $107,000 as of June 30, 2017 ($65,000 or 38% decrease) due primarily to amortization of deferred financing costs during the six months ended June 30, 2017.

Loans, Net

Loans, net of allowance for loan losses, increased from approximately $126,975,000 as of December 31, 2016 to $157,030,000 as of June 30, 2017 ($30,055,000 or 24% increase) due primarily to new loans originated and advances on existing loans during the period of approximately $44,707,000, net of principal collected from the full or partial payoff of loans totaling approximately $14,450,000 and net charge-offs of $288,000 during the period.

Real Estate Held for Sale and Investment

Real estate held for sale and investment decreased from approximately $113,123,000 as of December 31, 2016 to $84,276,000 as of June 30, 2017 ($28,847,000 or 25% decrease) due primarily to the sale of the TSV land and six condominium units at the ZRV mixed-use residential and commercial property, net of continued construction costs at ZRV during the six months ended June 30, 2017.

Deferred Taxes, Net

Deferred taxes, net decreased from approximately $7,249,000 as of December 31, 2016 to $6,435,000 as of June 30, 2017 ($814,000 or 11% decrease) due to the sale of six condominium units at ZRV during the period for gains of approximately $667,000 and an increase in the valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets as a result of higher construction costs and lower expected gains from the sales of ZRV assets in the future.

Dividends Payable

Dividends payable decreased from approximately $1,402,000 as of December 31, 2016 to $1,025,000 as of
June 30, 2017 ($377,000 or 27% decrease) because the dividend declared and accrued as of December 31, 2016 included a regular dividend of $0.08 per share and dividends accrued in the form of a tax payment made on behalf of stockholders of $583,000, whereas the dividend declared and accrued as of June 30, 2017 only included a regular dividend of $0.10 per share.

Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities

Accounts payable and accrued liabilities increased from approximately $3,700,000 as of December 31, 2016 to approximately $5,205,000 as of June 30, 2017 ($1,505,000 or 41% increase) due primarily to increased payables related to the construction activities on the property owned by ZRV.
 
49



Line of Credit Payable

Lines of credit payable decreased from $4,976,000 as of December 31, 2016 to no balance outstanding as of June 30, 2017 ($4,976,000 or 100% decrease) due to cash proceeds from the sale of the TSV land during the quarter were used to pay down the line of credit.

Notes and Loans Payable on Real Estate

Notes and loans payable decreased from $33,386,000 as of December 31, 2016 to $30,855,000 as of June 30, 2017 ($2,531,000 or 8% decrease) due primarily to principal payments of approximately $8,779,000 made on the ZRV Construction Loan from the sales of six condominium units, net of additional advances for construction totaling $6,324,000 during the period.

Asset Quality

A consequence of lending activities is that losses will be experienced and that the amount of such losses will vary from time to time, depending on the risk characteristics of the loan portfolio as affected by economic conditions and the financial experiences of borrowers.  Many of these factors are beyond our control. There is no precise method of predicting specific losses or amounts that ultimately may be charged off on specific loans or on segments of the loan portfolio.

The conclusion that a Company loan may become uncollectible, in whole or in part, is a matter of judgment. Although institutional lenders are subject to regulations that, among other things, require them to perform ongoing analyses of their loan portfolios (including analyses of loan-to-value ratios, reserves, etc.), and to obtain current information regarding their borrowers and the securing properties, we are not subject to these regulations and have not adopted these practices. Rather, management, in connection with the quarterly closing of our accounting records and the preparation of the financial statements, evaluates our loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses based on management's evaluation of the risk inherent in our loan portfolio and current economic conditions. Such evaluation, which includes a review of all loans on which the management determines that full collectability may not be reasonably assured, considers among other matters the following:

·
prevailing economic conditions;
·
our historical loss experience;
·
the types and dollar amounts of loans in the portfolio;
·
borrowers' financial condition and adverse situations that may affect the borrowers' ability to pay;
·
evaluation of industry trends;
·
review and evaluation of loans identified as having loss potential; and
·
estimated net realizable value or fair value of the underlying collateral.

Based upon this evaluation, a determination is made as to whether the allowance for loan losses is adequate to cover probable incurred credit losses. Additions to the allowance for loan losses are made by charges to the provision for loan losses. Loan losses deemed to be uncollectible are charged against the allowance for loan losses. Recoveries of previously charged off amounts are credited to the allowance for loan losses. As of June 30, 2017, management believes that the allowance for loan losses of approximately $2,621,000 is adequate in amount to cover probable incurred credit losses. Because of the number of variables involved, the magnitude of swings possible and management's inability to control many of these factors, actual results may and do sometimes differ significantly from estimates made by management. As of June 30, 2017, two loans totaling $2,835,000 were impaired. This includes one past maturity loan of $2,613,000. These impaired loans had specific reserves totaling $445,000. After management's evaluation of the loan portfolio, we recorded a net decrease in the allowance for loan losses of approximately $85,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2017 (charge-off against the specific loan loss allowance of $288,000, recovery of bad debt of $27,000 and increase in general allowance of $175,000).  Management believes that the specific allowance for loan losses is appropriate given the estimated fair values of the underlying collateral of impaired loans.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity is a measure of our ability to meet potential cash requirements, including ongoing commitments to repay borrowings, fund and maintain our assets and operations, make distributions to our stockholders and other general business needs.

We believe our available cash and restricted cash balances, other financing arrangements, and cash flows from operations will be sufficient to fund our liquidity requirements for the next 12 months.
We require liquidity to:

 
 
fund future loan investments;
 
 
to improve and maintain real estate properties;
 
 
to repay principal and interest on our borrowings;
 
 
to pay our expenses, including compensation to our Manager;
 
 
to pay U.S. federal, state, and local taxes of our TRSs;
 
 
to distribute a minimum of 90% of our REIT taxable income and to make investments in a manner that enables us to maintain our qualification as a REIT; and
 
 
to make tax payments associated with undistributed capital gains.
We intend to meet these liquidity requirements primarily through the following:

 
 
the use of our cash and cash equivalent balances of $4,672,000 as of June 30, 2017;
 
 
cash generated from operating activities, including interest income from our loan portfolio and income generated from our real estate properties;
 
 
proceeds from the sales of real estate properties;
 
 
proceeds from our line of credit;
 
 
proceeds from future borrowings, including additional lines of credit; and
 
 
proceeds from potential future offerings of our equity securities.

The following table summarizes our cash flow activity for the periods presented:

During the six months ended June 30, 2017, our cash and cash equivalents increased approximately $4,238,000 primarily due the sale of the TSV land in April 2017.

Operating Activities

Cash flows from operating activities are primarily rental and other income from real estate properties, net of real estate expenses, and interest received from our investments in loans, partially offset by payment of operating expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, cash flows from operating activities decreased $82,000, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2016. The decrease reflects decreased cash flow from rental properties as a result of the sale of four properties during 2016 and higher management and service fees and general and administrative expenses, net of lower interest expense during 2017 as compared to 2016.


51



Investing Activities

Net cash provided by investing activities for both periods presented reflect our investing activity. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, cash flows from investing activities increased $32,932,000 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2016. Approximately $15,464,000 was provided by investing activities during the six month period of 2017 as $52,078,000 was received from the sales of real estate and $14,450,000 from loan payoffs, which was partially offset by $51,154,000 that was used for investments in loans and real estate properties.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities totaled approximately $9,860,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and consisted primarily of $7,625,000 of net repayments on our line of credit and notes payable and dividends and income taxes paid to or on behalf of stockholders of $2,222,000. Net cash provided by financing activities totaled approximately $18,245,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and consisted primarily of $21,651,000 of net advances on our lines of credit and notes payable, net of $2,953,000 of dividends and income taxes paid to or on behalf of stockholders, $242,000 in distributions to non-controlling interests and $255,000 in deferred financing costs paid.

Dividends

We intend to make regular quarterly distributions to holders of our Common Stock. U.S. federal income tax law generally requires that a REIT annually distribute at least 90% of its REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains, and to the extent that it annually distributes less than 100% of its REIT taxable income, excluding net capital gains, in any taxable year, and that it pay tax at regular corporate rates on that undistributed portion. We intend to make regular quarterly distributions to our stockholders in an amount equal to or greater than our REIT taxable income, excluding net capital gains, if and to the extent authorized by our Board of Directors. Before we make any distributions, whether for U.S. federal income tax purposes or otherwise, we must first meet both our operating requirements and debt service on our debt payable. If our cash available for distribution is less than our REIT 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

We do not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured investment vehicles, special purpose entities or VIEs, established to facilitate off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. Further, we have not guaranteed any obligations of unconsolidated entities or entered into any commitment to provide additional funding to any such entities.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments
There were no material changes outside of the ordinary course of business in the contractual obligations and commitments as reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.  All of our debt obligations are described in more detail in Note 7 — "Line of Credit Payable" and Note 8 – "Notes and Loans Payable on Real Estate."  Refer to Note 13 — "Commitments and Contingencies" and below for a description of our other contractual obligations as of June 30, 2017.

Company Debt

The terms of the Company debt summarized below are described in more detail in Note 7 – "Line of Credit Payable" and Note 8 – "Notes and Loans Payable on Real Estate".


52




CB&T Line of Credit

As of June 30, 2017, the total amount available to borrow under the CB&T Credit Facility was $42,826,000 and there was no balance outstanding (leaving $42,826,000 available). As of August 4, 2017, the total amount available to borrow under the CB&T Credit Facility is $38,979,000 and there was no balance outstanding (leaving $38,979,000 available).  Interest on borrowings under the CB&T Credit Facility are payable monthly and all amounts outstanding under the facility are to be repaid not later than March 1, 2018 and advances may be made up to that date.

Tahoe Stateline Venture, LLC Loan Payable
The full amount available under the TSV Loan has been borrowed, and the balance of the TSV Loan was approximately $13,440,000 as of June 30, 2017 and $13,375,000 as of August 4, 2017. Principal and interest is payable monthly and the balance of the loan is due on the maturity date, which is January 1, 2021.

ZRV Construction Loan
The ZRV Loan will provide up to $31,000,000, subject to the terms and conditions of the loan and the balance of the ZRV Loan was approximately $17,759,000 as of June 30, 2017 and approximately $17,015,000 as of August 4, 2017. Monthly interest only payments are required from an established interest reserve. In addition, commencing on June 30, 2017 and continuing on the last day of each calendar quarter thereafter during the term of the Loan, $6 million of principal is required to be repaid. The balance of the ZRV Loan is due on August 3, 2018.

Commitments and Contingencies

As of June 30, 2017, we have commitments to advance additional funds to borrowers of construction, rehabilitation and other loans (including interest reserves) in the total amount of approximately $33,636,000.
We have entered into various contracts for design, architectural, engineering, foundation work and construction for development of the land owned by ZRV. The aggregate amount of these contracts totaled approximately $34,285,000 of which approximately $34,042,000 had been incurred as of June 30, 2017 in addition to other capitalized costs related to the construction project of $5,395,000 (total of $39,437,000 before sales of units and allocation of common area costs to ZRV II). Management expects that all costs for this project will be paid from the construction loan, advances from the CB&T Credit Facility or cash reserves. It is possible that additional change orders will be submitted and construction costs may be higher than expected.

Contingency Reserves

We are required to maintain cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as contingency reserves in an aggregate amount of at least 1.50% of Capital (as defined in our charter). Although the Manager believes the contingency reserves are adequate, it could become necessary for us to sell or otherwise liquidate certain of our investments or other assets to cover such contingencies on terms which might not be favorable to us. The contingency reserves held in cash and cash equivalents were approximately $3,777,000 and $3,738,000 as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Market risk is the exposure to loss resulting from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, equity prices and real estate values. The primary market risks that we are exposed to are real estate risk and interest rate risk.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is highly sensitive to many factors, including governmental monetary tax policies, domestic and international economic and political considerations and other factors beyond our control.

53



Our operating results are exposed to the risks related to interest rate fluctuations as the results depend to a significant extent on the differences between income from our loans and our borrowing costs. We generally originate fixed rate loan investments and partially finance those investments with floating rate liabilities.  Our investments in fixed rate assets are generally exposed to changes in value due to interest rate fluctuations; however, the short maturity and low debt to investments of our loan portfolio are intended to partially offset that risk. Our average weighted maturity of fixed rate loans as of June 30, 2017 is approximately 11 months though in the past we have extended the maturity date on certain loans which would increase our exposure to interest rate risk.  In addition, our outstanding variable rate debt to loan investments as of June 30, 2017 is 11%. All of our variable rate investment loans and certain of our borrowings are subject to various interest rate floors. As a result, the impact of a change in interest rates may be different on our interest income than it is on our interest expense.  As a result of the floors on our variable rate investment loans (which are a small part of our loan portfolio), and the short term nature of these loans, the impact of a change in prevailing interest rates on our income is unlikely to be material.

The following table projects the potential impact on our interest expense for a 12-month period assuming an instantaneous increase of 100 basis points in 3 Month LIBOR and one percent in the Prime Rate based on balances outstanding as of June 30, 2017:

In the event of a significant rising interest rate environment and/or economic downturn, default on our loan portfolio could increase and result in losses to us.  Such delinquencies or defaults could also have an adverse effect on the spreads between interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.

Credit Risks

Our loans and investments are also subject to credit risk. The performance and value of our loans and investments depend upon the borrowers' 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 and the borrowers' ability to refinance the loans or sell the underlying collateral upon maturity. To monitor this risk, our Manager'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 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.

Counterparty Risk

The nature of our business requires us to hold our cash and cash equivalents and obtain financing from 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 and agreements with high quality credit institutions.

54



The nature of our loans and investments also expose us to the risk that our counterparties do not make required interest and principal payments on scheduled due dates. We seek to manage this risk through our credit analysis prior to making an investment and actively monitoring the asset portfolios that serve as our collateral.

Real Estate Risk

        Commercial mortgage assets may be viewed as exposing an investor to greater risk of loss than residential mortgage assets since such assets are typically secured by larger loans to fewer obligors than residential mortgage assets. Multi-family and commercial property values and net operating income derived from such properties are subject to volatility and may be affected adversely by a number of factors, including, but not limited to, events such as natural disasters including hurricanes and earthquakes, acts of war and/or terrorism and others that may cause unanticipated and uninsured performance declines and/or losses to us or the owners and operators of the real estate securing our investment; national, regional and local economic conditions (which may be adversely affected by industry slowdowns and other factors); local real estate conditions (such as an oversupply of housing, retail, industrial, office or other commercial space); changes or continued weakness in specific industry segments; construction quality, construction delays, construction cost, age and design; demographic factors; retroactive changes to building or similar codes; and increases in operating expenses (such as energy costs). In the event net operating income decreases, a borrower may have difficulty repaying our loans, which could result in losses to us. In addition, decreases in property values reducing the value of collateral and a lack of liquidity in the market, could reduce the potential proceeds available to a borrower to repay our loans, which could also cause us to suffer losses. Even when the net operating income is sufficient to cover the related property's debt service, there can be no assurance that this will continue to be the case in the future.

Prepayment Risk

        Our revenue and earnings may be affected by prepayment rates on our existing investment loans. When we originate our investment loans, we anticipate that we will generate an expected yield. When borrowers prepay their loans faster than we expect, there are no prepayment penalties, and we may be unable to replace these loans with new investment loans that will generate yields which are as high as the prepaid mortgage loans.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Management of the Company carried out an evaluation, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2017. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2017, which is the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q,  the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

There have been no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting in the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2017 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

In the normal course of business, the Company may become involved in various types of legal proceedings including, but not limited to, assignment of rents, bankruptcy proceedings, appointment of receivers, unlawful detainers, and judicial foreclosure. These proceedings may seek to enforce the provisions of the deeds of trust, collect the debt owed under the promissory notes, or to protect, or recoup the Company's investment from the real property secured by the deeds of trust.  The Company believes that it is not party to any pending legal or arbitration proceedings that would have a material effect on its financial condition or results of operations or cash flows, although it is possible that the outcome of any such proceedings could have a material impact on net income in any particular period.

55



Item 1A. Risk Factors

In addition to the other information set forth in this report and the risk factor listed below, you should carefully consider the risk factors discussed in "Item 1A. Risk Factors" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. If any of the identified risks actually occurs, or is adversely resolved, our consolidated financial statements could be materially adversely impacted in a particular fiscal quarter or year and our business, financial condition and results of operations may suffer materially. As a result, the trading price of our Common Stock and your investment in the Company may suffer.

The risks described in our Annual Report and below are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties, including those not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Actions of activist stockholders against us could be disruptive and costly and the possibility that activist stockholders may wage proxy contests or seek representation on our Board could cause uncertainty about the strategic direction of our business.

Stockholders may from time to time engage in proxy solicitations, advance stockholder proposals or board nominations or otherwise attempt to effect changes, assert influence or acquire some level of control over us. Our Board and management team strive to maintain constructive, ongoing communications with all of the Company's stockholders. And while we welcome stockholder views and opinions with the goal of enhancing value for all stockholders and the depth and breadth of our Board, an activist campaign, such as a proxy contest to replace members of our Board, could have an adverse effect on us because:

 • Responding to such actions by activist stockholders can disrupt our operations, are costly and time-consuming, and divert the attention of our Board and senior management team from the pursuit of business strategies, which could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition;

 • Perceived uncertainties as to our future direction as a result of changes to the composition of our Board may lead to the perception of a change in the direction of the business, instability or lack of continuity which may be exploited by our competitors, cause concern to our current or potential borrower clients, may result in the loss of potential business opportunities and make it more difficult to attract and retain qualified personnel and business partners;

 • These types of actions could cause significant fluctuations in our stock price based on temporary or speculative market perceptions or other factors that do not necessarily reflect the underlying fundamentals and prospects of our business; and

 •If individuals are elected to our Board with a specific agenda, it may adversely affect our ability to effectively implement our business strategy and create additional value for our stockholders.
