Note 12 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments

GAAP requires the disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not they are recognized at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets, for which it is practicable to estimate that value. The following table details the carrying amount and estimated fair value of the Company’s financial instruments at the dates below:

The following describes the Company’s methods for estimating the fair value for financial instruments:

•
The estimated fair values of restricted cash, cash and cash equivalents were based on the bank balance and was a Level 1 fair value measurement.
•
The estimated fair value of commercial mortgage loans, net is a Level 3 fair value measurement. The majority of the loans are floating rate and as such the interest rates on such loans reflect the current interest rate spreads. Additionally, since the loans have a short duration to maturity (0.5 years), are not delinquent or impaired (except for one loan impaired as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, for which an asset-specific CECL reserve has been recorded) and are expected to return to par, the Advisor determined the amortized cost, less allowance for credit losses, is the best estimate of fair value for all loans. The allowance for credit losses includes the analytical portion as well as the asset-specific component of the CECL reserve.

For the impaired loan as of September 30, 2025, which was also impaired as of December 31, 2024, the CECL reserve was recorded based on the expected proceeds from the loan. This loan is therefore measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis using significant unobservable inputs and is classified as a Level 3 asset in the fair value hierarchy. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the significant unobservable input used to estimate the fair value of this loan is the expected loss based on a possible repayment amount that the Company has negotiated with the borrower.

•
The estimated fair values of repurchase agreements – commercial mortgage loans and loan participations sold are Level 3 fair value measurements based on expected present value techniques. This method discounts future estimated cash flows using rates the Company determined best reflect current market interest rates that would be offered for repurchase agreements and loan participations sold with similar characteristics and credit quality. The carrying value of these instruments approximates fair value as the fair value of these instruments is not materially sensitive to shifts in market interest rates because of the floating interest rates on these instruments.
•
The estimated fair value of the mortgage loan payable, net is a Level 3 fair value measurement. The loan was recorded at transaction proceeds, which is considered to be the best initial estimate of fair value.
