_______________

(1)All of the Company’s investments are issued by eligible portfolio companies, as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 and the rules promulgated thereunder. All of the Company’s borrowers are in the diversified real estate industry.

(2)Some of the Company’s investments provide for coupon rate indexed to the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and are subject to a LIBOR floor.

(3)Because there is no readily available market for these investments, these investments are valued using significant unobservable inputs under Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy and are approved in good faith by the Company’s board of directors.

(4)Percentages are based on net assets of $76.8 million as of September 30, 2020.

(5)Participation interest is with Terra Property Trust, Inc., a related-party real estate investment trust managed by an affiliate of the Company’s sponsor.

(6)The loan participations from the Company do not qualify for sale accounting and therefore, these loans remain in the Schedule of Investments. See “Obligations under Participation Agreements” in Note 3 in the accompanying notes to the financial statements.

(7)The Company acquired these investments through participation agreements. See “Participation Agreements” in Note 4 in the accompanying notes to the financial statements.

(8)As of September 30, 2020, this loan was past due. In October 2020, the maturity of the loan was extended to November 15, 2020.

(9)In June 2020, the Company amended the credit facility agreement to provide for interest at a fixed rate of 16.00% and to capitalize any unpaid interest to principal.

(10)From time to time, the Company may invest in debt and equity securities.

Terra Income Fund 6, Inc.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Note 1. Principal Business and Organization

Terra Income Fund 6, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the general corporation laws of the State of Maryland on May 15, 2013. On March 2, 2015, the Company filed a public registration statement on Form N-2 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to offer a minimum of $2.0 million of common stock and a maximum of $1.0 billion of common stock in a continuous public offering (the “Offering”). The Company formally commenced operations on June 24, 2015, upon raising gross proceeds in excess of $2.0 million (the “Minimum Offering Requirement”) from sales of shares of its common stock in the Offering, including sales to persons who are affiliated with the Company or its adviser, Terra Income Advisors, LLC (“Terra Income Advisors” or the “Adviser”). Since commencing the Offering and through the end of the Offering on April 20, 2018, the Company has sold 8,878,606 shares of common stock, including shares purchased by Terra Capital Partners, LLC (“Terra Capital Partners”), the Company’s sponsor, and excluding shares sold through the distribution reinvestment plan (“DRIP”), in both an initial private placement and from the Offering, for gross proceeds of $103.6 million. The Company has elected to be regulated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Company is an externally managed, non-diversified, closed-end management investment company that initially elected to be taxed for federal income tax purposes, and qualified annually thereafter, as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

On December 11, 2018, the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) voted to approve a change in its fiscal year from September 30 to December 31 in connection with its plan to qualify as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes under Subchapter M of the Code. The Board delegated to its management the authority to determine when such change in fiscal year would take effect. On December 31, 2018, the Company’s management determined to change its tax election from taxation as a RIC to taxation as a REIT under Subchapter M of the Code. The REIT tax election allows the Company to benefit from the preferential tax treatment afforded to both RICs and REITs, without the Company being subject to RIC-specific diversification restrictions. The Company elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Code commencing with its short taxable year beginning October 1, 2018 and ending December 31, 2018. Concurrent with the change in its tax election, the Company changed its fiscal year from September 30 to December 31 to satisfy the REIT requirement under the Code.

The Company’s investment activities are externally managed by Terra Income Advisors, a private investment firm affiliated with the Company, pursuant to an investment advisory and administrative services agreement (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”), under the oversight of the Company’s Board, a majority of whom are independent directors. Terra Income Advisors is registered as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (see Note 4).

The Company previously retained Terra Capital Markets, LLC (“Terra Capital Markets”), an affiliate of Terra Income Advisors, to serve as the dealer manager of the Offering. As the dealer manager, Terra Capital Markets was responsible for marketing the Company’s shares being offered pursuant to the Offering, which ended on April 20, 2018.

On February 8, 2018, a pooled investment vehicle advised by Axar Capital Management L.P. (“Axar”) entered into an investment agreement with Terra Capital Partners and its affiliates pursuant to which Axar acquired from the respective owners thereof a 65.7% economic and voting interest in Terra Capital Partners and an initial 49% economic interest, but no voting interest, in Terra Income Advisors. On November 30, 2018, Axar purchased the remaining 34.3% economic interest in Terra Capital Partners. On April 25, 2019, the Company held its annual meeting of stockholders, at which time a new Investment Advisory Agreement was approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote at the annual meeting. Accordingly, on April 30, 2019, Axar acquired the remaining 51% economic interest and 100% of the voting interest in Terra Income Advisors, and the Company and Terra Income Advisors entered into a new Investment Advisory Agreement. Such new Investment Advisory Agreement has the same economic terms and is in all material respects otherwise on the same terms as the Investment Advisory Agreement in effect immediately prior to April 30, 2019, except for the date of the agreement. Pursuant to Section 15 of the 1940 Act, the new Investment Advisory Agreement has an initial two year term, but will be required to be renewed annually thereafter at an in-person meeting of the Board.

The Company’s primary investment objectives are to pay attractive and stable cash distributions and to preserve, protect and return capital contributions to stockholders. The Company’s investment strategy is to use substantially all of the proceeds of the Offering to originate and manage a diversified portfolio consisting of (i) commercial real estate loans to U.S. companies qualifying as “eligible portfolio companies” under the 1940 Act, including mezzanine loans, first and second lien mortgage loans, subordinated mortgage loans, bridge loans and other commercial real estate-related loans related to or secured by high quality commercial real estate in the United States; (ii) preferred equity real estate investments in U.S. companies qualifying as “eligible portfolio companies” under the 1940 Act; and (iii) any other investments that meet the investment objectives of the Company. The Company may also purchase select commercial real estate-related debt securities, such as commercial mortgage-backed securities or collateralized debt obligations. The Company intends to either directly or through an affiliate, structure,

TABLE OF CONTENTS

underwrite and originate most of its investments, as it believes that doing so will provide it with the best opportunity to invest in loans that satisfy its standards, establish a direct relationship with the borrower and optimize the terms of its investments. The Company may hold its investments until their scheduled maturity dates or may sell them if the Company is able to command favorable terms for their disposition.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation: The accompanying interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information. The accompanying interim financial statements of the Company and related financial information have been prepared pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Articles 6 or 10 of Regulation S-X. The Company is an investment company, as defined under U.S. GAAP, and applies accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, Financial Services — Investment Companies.

Cash and Cash Equivalents: The Company considers all highly liquid investments, with original maturities of ninety days or less when purchased, as cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents held at financial institutions, at times, may exceed the amount insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

Restricted Cash: Restricted cash represents cash held as additional collateral by the Company on behalf of the borrowers related to the investments for the purpose of such borrowers making interest and property-related operating payments. There is a corresponding liability of the same amount on the statements of assets and liabilities called “Interest reserve and other deposits held on investments.”

The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash in the Company’s statements of assets and liabilities to the total amount shown in its statements of cash flows:


	September 30,
	2020		2019
Cash and cash equivalents	$	15,636,782	$	9,013,840
Restricted cash	1,159,878		1,273,444
Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash shown in the statements of cash flows	$	16,796,660	$	10,287,284

Investment Transactions and Investment Income (Expense): The Company records investment transactions on the trade date. Realized gains or losses on dispositions of investments represent the difference between the amortized cost of the investment, based on the specific identification method, and the proceeds received from the sale or maturity (exclusive of any prepayment penalties). Realized gains and losses and changes in unrealized gains and losses are recognized in the statements of operations. Interest income is accrued based upon the outstanding principal amount and contractual terms of the debt instruments and preferred equity investments. Interest is accrued on a daily basis. Discounts and premiums on investments purchased are accreted or amortized over the expected life of the respective investment using the effective yield method and are included in interest income in the statements of operations. Loan origination fees and exit fees are capitalized and the Company then amortizes such amounts using the effective yield method as interest income over the life of the investment. Income accrual is generally suspended for investments at the earlier of the date at which payments become 90 days past due or when, in the opinion of the Adviser, recovery of income and principal becomes doubtful. Interest is then recorded on the basis of cash received until accrual is resumed when the investment becomes contractually current and performance is demonstrated to be resumed. The amortized cost of investments represents the original cost adjusted for the accretion of discounts on investments and exit fees, and the amortizations of premiums on investments and origination fees. As prepayment(s), partial or full, occurs on an investment, prepayment income is recognized. All other income is recognized when earned.

The Company may hold debt investments in its portfolio that contain paid-in-kind (“PIK”) interest provisions. The PIK interest, which represents contractually deferred interest that is added to the principal balance that is due at maturity, is recorded on the accrual basis.

Participation Interests: Loan participations from the Company which do not qualify for sale treatment remain on the Company’s statements of assets and liabilities and the proceeds are recorded as obligations under participation agreements. For the investments which participation has been granted, the interest earned on the entire loan balance is recorded within “interest income” and the interest related to the participation interest is recorded within “interest expense from obligations under participation agreements” in the accompanying statements of operations. Interest expense from obligations under participation agreement is reversed when recovery of interest income on the related loan becomes doubtful. See “Obligations under Participation Agreements” in Note 3 for additional information.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Valuation of Investments: The Company determines the value of its investments on a quarterly basis in accordance with fair value accounting guidance promulgated under U.S. GAAP, which establishes a three-tier hierarchical disclosure framework that prioritizes and ranks the level of market price observability used in measuring investments at fair value. These tiers include:

•Level 1 — observable inputs, such as quoted prices in active markets. Publicly listed equities, debt securities and publicly listed derivatives will be included in Level 1.

•Level 2 — observable inputs such as for similar securities in active markets and quoted prices for identical securities in markets that are not active. In certain cases, debt and equity securities are valued on the basis of prices from an orderly transaction between market participants provided by reputable dealers or pricing services. In determining the value of a particular investment, pricing services may use certain information with respect to transactions in such investments, quotations from dealers, pricing matrices, market transactions in comparable investments and various relationships between investments. Investments which are generally expected to be included in this category include corporate bonds and loans, convertible debt indexed to publicly listed securities and certain over-the-counter derivatives.

•Level 3 — unobservable inputs for which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions. The inputs into the determination of fair value require significant judgment or estimation.

Market price observability is affected by a number of factors, including the type of investment and the characteristics specific to the investment. Investments with readily available actively quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices, generally, will have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, an investment’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires subjective judgment and consideration of factors specific to the investment. The fair values of the Company’s loan investments are determined in good faith by the Board pursuant to the Company’s valuation policy and consistently applied valuation process. It is expected that the Company’s investments will primarily be classified as Level 3 investments. The fair value of the Company’s investment in preferred stock is determined based on quoted prices in an active market and is classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Valuation of Obligations under Participation Agreements: The Company has elected the fair value option under ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments, relating to accounting for debt obligations at their fair value for obligations under participation agreements which arose due to partial loan sales which did not meet the criteria for sale treatment under ASC Topic 860, Transfers and Servicing. The Company employs the yield approach valuation methodology used for the real-estate related loan investments on its obligations under participation agreements.

Stockholder Dividends and Distributions: Dividends and distributions to stockholders, which are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, are recorded on the declaration date. The amount to be paid out as a dividend or distribution is approved by the Board. Net realized capital gains, if any, are generally distributed or deemed distributed at least annually. The Company adopted an “opt in” DRIP pursuant to which stockholders may elect to have the full amount of stockholders cash distributions reinvested in additional shares of common stock. Participants in the DRIP are free to elect to participate or terminate participation in the plan within a reasonable time as specified in the plan. For stockholders who have opted in to the DRIP, they have their cash distributions reinvested in additional shares of common stock, rather than receiving the cash distributions. The Company coordinated distribution payment dates so that the same price that was used for the semi-monthly closing date immediately following such distribution payment date used to calculate the purchase price for purchasers under the DRIP. In such case, a stockholder’s reinvested distributions was used to purchase shares at a price equaled to 95% of the price that shares were sold in the offering at the semi-monthly closing immediately following the distribution payment date and such price may represent a premium to net asset value (“NAV”) per share.

On August 7, 2018, the Board, including all of the directors who are not “interested persons” as defined in the 1940 Act, voted to adopt an amended and restated DRIP, which amended the Company’s previous DRIP to provide that the Company now sells shares thereunder at a price equal to its most recently disclosed NAV per share of its common stock immediately prior to the applicable distribution payment date. The terms of the previous DRIP otherwise remain unchanged. In accordance with the terms of the DRIP, the amended and restated DRIP went into effect on September 8, 2018.

Incentive Fee on Capital Gains: Pursuant to the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the incentive fee on capital gains is determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each fiscal year (or upon termination of the Investment Advisory Agreement). This fee equals 20.0% of the Company’s incentive fee on capital gains, which equals the realized capital gains on a cumulative basis from inception, calculated as of the end of the applicable period, computed net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation on a cumulative basis, less the aggregate amount of any previously paid capital gains incentive fees. On a quarterly basis, the Company accrues (but does not pay) for the capital gains incentive fee by calculating such fee as if it were due and payable as of the end of such period. While the Investment Advisory Agreement neither includes

TABLE OF CONTENTS

nor contemplates the inclusion of unrealized gains in the calculation of the capital gains incentive fee, pursuant to an interpretation of an American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Technical Practice Aid for investment companies, the Company accrues for this incentive fee to include unrealized gains in the calculation of the capital gains incentive fee expense and related accrued capital gains incentive fee. This accrual reflects the incentive fees that would be payable to Terra Income Advisors if the Company’s entire portfolio were liquidated at its fair value as of the balance sheet date even though Terra Income Advisors is not entitled to an incentive fee with respect to unrealized gains unless and until such gains are actually realized.

Servicing Fee: The Company pays Terra Capital Markets a servicing fee at an annual rate of 1.125% of the most recently published NAV per share, excluding shares sold through the DRIP, in exchange for providing certain administrative support services (Note 4) to stockholders such as establishing and maintaining stockholder accounts, customer service support and assisting stockholders in changing account options, account designations and account addresses. The servicing fee is recorded as expense on the statements of operations in the period in which it was incurred.

Income Taxes: The Company elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Code commencing with its short taxable year beginning October 1, 2018 and ending December 31, 2018. In order to qualify as a REIT, the Company is required, among other things, to distribute at least 90% of its REIT net taxable income to the stockholders and meet certain tests regarding the nature of its income and assets. As a REIT, the Company is not subject to U.S. federal income taxes on income and gains distributed to the stockholders as long as certain requirements are satisfied, principally relating to the nature of income and the level of distributions, as well as other factors. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year and does not qualify for certain statutory relief provisions, the Company will be subject to U.S. federal and state income taxes at regular corporate rates beginning with the year in which it fails to qualify and may be precluded from being able to elect to be treated as a REIT for the Company’s four subsequent taxable years. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company satisfied all the requirements for a REIT and accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes has been included in the financial statements.

The Company did not have any uncertain tax positions that met the recognition or measurement criteria under accounting for income taxes, nor did the Company have any unrecognized tax benefits as of the periods presented herein. The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax liabilities as income tax expense in its statements of operations. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company did not incur any interest or penalties. Although the Company files federal and state tax returns, its major tax jurisdiction is federal. The Company’s 2016-2019 federal tax years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and the state department of revenue.

Use of Estimates: The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and reported amounts of income, expenses and gains and losses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and those differences could be material.

As of September 30, 2020, there has been a global outbreak of a novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”), which has spread to over 200 countries and territories, including the United States, and has spread to every state in the United States. The World Health Organization has designated COVID-19 as a pandemic, and numerous countries, including the United States, have declared national emergencies with respect to COVID-19. The global impact of the outbreak has been rapidly evolving, and as cases of COVID-19 have continued to be identified in additional countries, many countries have reacted by instituting quarantines and restrictions on travel, closing financial markets and/or restricting trading and operations of non-essential offices and retail centers. Such actions are creating disruption in global supply chains, and adversely impacting many industries. The outbreak could have a continued adverse impact on economic and market conditions and trigger a period of global economic slowdown. The rapid development and fluidity of this situation precludes any prediction as to the ultimate adverse impact of COVID-19 on economic and market conditions. The Company believes the estimates and assumptions underlying its financial statements are reasonable and supportable based on the information available as of September 30, 2020, however uncertainty over the ultimate impact COVID-19 will have on the global economy generally, and the Company’s business in particular, makes any estimates and assumptions as of September 30, 2020 inherently less certain than they would be absent the current and potential impacts of COVID-19. Actual results may ultimately differ from those estimates.

The financial statements include loan investments at fair value of $64.6 million and $61.8 million at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, and obligations under participation agreements at fair value of $4.3 million and $3.2 million at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. These fair values have been determined in good faith by the Board. Because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, the determined values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for the investments and obligations under participation agreements, and the differences could be material.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements: In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-13”). The objective of ASU 2018-13 is to improve the

TABLE OF CONTENTS

effectiveness of disclosures in the notes to financial statements by facilitating clear communication of information required by U.S. GAAP. The amendments in ASU 2018-13 added, removed and modified certain fair value measurement disclosure requirements. ASU 2018-13 is effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The amendments on changes in unrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements, and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty should be applied prospectively for only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the initial fiscal year of adoption. All other amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon their effective date. The Company adopted ASU 2018-13 on January 1, 2020. The adoption of ASU 2018-13 did not have a material impact on its financial statements and disclosures.

LIBOR is a benchmark interest rate referenced in a variety of agreements that are used by all types of entities. At the end of 2021, banks will no longer be required to report information that is used to determine LIBOR. As a result, LIBOR could be discontinued. Other interest rates used globally could also be discontinued for similar reasons. In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) — Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“ASU 2020-04”). The amendments in ASU 2020-04 provide companies with optional guidance to ease the potential accounting burden associated with transitioning away from reference rates that are expected to be discontinued. The provisions of optional relief include: (i) contract modifications — account for the modification as a continuation of the existing contract without additional analysis; (ii) hedging accounting — continue hedge accounting when certain critical terms of a hedging relationship change; and (iii) held-to-maturity (HTM) debt securities — one-time sale and/or transfer to available for sale or trading may be made for HTM debt securities that both reference an eligible reference rate and were classified as HTM before January 1, 2020. Companies can apply the amendments in ASU 2020-04 immediately. However, ASU 2020-04 will only be available for a limited time (generally through December 31, 2022). The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the reference rate reform and ASU 2020-04 on its financial statements and disclosures.

Obligations under Participation Agreements

The Company has elected the fair value option relating to accounting for debt obligations at their fair value for its obligations under participation agreements which arose due to partial loan sales which did not meet the criteria for sale treatment. The Company employs the same yield approach valuation methodology used for the real estate-related loan investments on the Company’s obligations under participation agreements. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, obligations under participation agreements at fair value was $4.3 million and $3.2 million, and the weighted average contractual interest rate on the obligations under participation agreements was 13.0% for both periods. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company transferred $1.1 million and $2.0 million of investments to affiliates through participation agreements, respectively, and did not make any repayments on obligations under participation agreements.

Valuation Methodology

The fair value of the Company’s investment in preferred stock within the marketable securities portfolio is determined based on quoted prices in an active market and is classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Market quotations are not readily available for the Company’s real estate-related loan investments, all of which are included in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, and therefore these investments are valued utilizing a yield approach, i.e. a discounted cash flow methodology to arrive at an estimate of the fair value of each respective investment in the portfolio using an estimated market yield. In following this methodology, investments are evaluated individually, and management takes into account, in determining the risk-adjusted discount rate for each of the Company’s investments, relevant factors, including available current market data on applicable yields of comparable debt/preferred equity instruments; market credit spreads and yield curves; the investment’s yield; covenants of the investment, including prepayment provisions; the portfolio company’s ability to make payments, net operating income and debt service coverage ratio; construction progress reports and construction budget analysis; the nature, quality and realizable value of any collateral (and loan-to-value ratio); the forces that influence the local markets in which the asset (the collateral) is purchased and sold, such as capitalization rates, occupancy rates, rental rates and replacement costs; and the anticipated duration of each real estate-related loan investment.

These valuation techniques are applied in a consistent and verifiable manner to all investments that are categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy and Terra Income Advisors provides the valuation committee of the Board (which is made up exclusively of independent directors) with portfolio security valuations that are based on this discounted cash flow methodology. Valuations are prepared quarterly, or more frequently as needed, with each asset in the portfolio subject to a valuation prepared by a third-party valuation service at a minimum of once during every 12-month period. The valuation committee reviews the preliminary valuation with Terra Income Advisors and, together with an independent valuation firm, if applicable, responds and supplements the preliminary valuation to reflect any comments provided by the valuation committee. The Board discusses valuations and determines the fair value of each investment in the portfolio in good faith based on various statistical and other factors, including the input and recommendation provided by Terra Income Advisors, the valuation committee and any third-party valuation firm, if applicable.

The following tables present fair value measurements of investments, by major class, as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, according to the fair value hierarchy:

_______________

(1)For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company reversed the previously accrued incentive fees on capital gains of $18,620 and recorded incentive fees on capital gains of $42,997, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company reversed the previously accrued incentive fees on capital gains of $18,446 and $44,408, respectively. Incentive fees on capital gains are based on 20% of net realized and unrealized capital gains. No incentive fees on capital gains are actually payable by the Company with respect to unrealized gains unless and until those gains are realized.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(2)Amounts were primarily compensation for time spent supporting the Company’s day-to-day operations.

(3)As discussed in “Servicing Plan” below, on September 30, 2017, the Company adopted the servicing plan. The servicing fee is recorded as expense on the statements of operations in the period in which it was incurred. As of both September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, unpaid servicing fees were $0.1 million and were included in accrued expenses on the statements of assets and liabilities.

Due to / Due from Adviser

The Company determined that it has the right of offset on the amounts due to and due from Terra Income Advisors under the guidance in ASC Topic 210, Balance Sheet. As such, the net amount is presented as Due to Adviser, net on the statements of assets and liabilities. The following table presents a summary of Due to Adviser, net as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019:


	September 30, 2020		December 31, 2019

_______________

(1)Incentive fees on capital gains are based on 20% of accumulated net realized and unrealized capital gains of $1.0 million and $0.8 million as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. No incentive fees on capital gains are actually payable by the Company with respect to unrealized gains unless and until those gains are realized.

Management and Incentive Fee Compensation to Adviser

Pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement, Terra Income Advisors is responsible for the Company’s day-to-day operations. Pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement, Terra Income Advisors is paid for its services in two components — a base management fee and an incentive fee. The base management fee is calculated at an annual rate of 2.0% of the Company’s average gross assets. The base management fee is payable quarterly in arrears and calculated based on the average value of the Company’s gross assets at the end of the two most recently completed calendar quarters.

The incentive fee consists of two parts. The first part, which is referred to as the subordinated incentive fee on income, is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears based upon the Company’s “pre-incentive fee net investment income” for the immediately preceding quarter. The subordinated incentive fee on income is subject to a quarterly hurdle rate, expressed as a rate of return on adjusted capital at the beginning of the most recently completed calendar quarter, of 2.0% (8.0% annualized), subject to a “catch-up” feature. For this purpose, “pre-incentive fee net investment income” means interest income, dividend income and any other income (including any other fees, other than fees for providing managerial assistance, such as commitment, origination, structuring, diligence and consulting fees or other fees that the Company receives from portfolio companies) accrued during the calendar quarter, minus the Company’s operating expenses for the quarter (including the base management fee, expenses reimbursed to Terra Income Advisors under the Investment Advisory Agreement and any interest expense and dividends paid on any issued and outstanding preferred stock, but excluding the incentive fee). Pre-incentive fee net investment income includes, in the case of investments with a deferred interest feature (such as original issue discount, debt instruments with PIK interest and zero-coupon securities), accrued income that the Company has not yet received in cash. Pre-incentive fee net investment income does not include any realized capital gains, realized capital losses or unrealized capital appreciation or depreciation. The calculation of the subordinated incentive fee on income for each quarter is as follows:

•No incentive fee is payable to Terra Income Advisors in any calendar quarter in which the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income does not exceed the hurdle rate of 2.0% (8.0% annualized);

•100% of the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds the hurdle rate but is less than or equal to 2.5% in any calendar quarter (10.0% annualized) is payable to Terra Income Advisors, all or any portion of which may be waived or deferred in Terra Income Advisors’ discretion. This portion of the pre-incentive fee net investment income (which exceeds the hurdle rate but is less than or equal to 2.5%) is referred to as the “catch-up.” The catch-up provision is intended to provide Terra Income Advisors with an incentive fee of 20.0% on all of the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income when the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income reaches 2.5% in any calendar quarter; and

TABLE OF CONTENTS

•20.0% of the amount of the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds 2.5% in any calendar quarter (10.0% annualized) is payable to Terra Income Advisors once the hurdle rate is reached and the catch-up is achieved.

The second part of the incentive fee, which is referred to as the incentive fee on capital gains, is an incentive fee on capital gains earned on liquidated investments from the portfolio and is determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year (or upon termination of the Investment Advisory Agreement). This fee equals 20.0% of the Company’s incentive fee on capital gains, which equals the realized capital gains on a cumulative basis from inception, calculated as of the end of the applicable period, computed net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation on a cumulative basis, less the aggregate amount of any previously paid capital gains incentive fees. On a quarterly basis, the Company accrues (but does not pay) for the unrealized capital gains incentive fee by calculating such fee as if it were due and payable as of the end of such period.

Operating Expenses

The Company reimburses Terra Income Advisors for operating expenses incurred in connection with administrative services provided to the Company, including compensation to administrative personnel. The Company does not reimburse Terra Income Advisors for personnel costs in connection with services for which Terra Income Advisors receives a separate fee. In addition, the Company does not reimburse Terra Income Advisors for (i) rent or depreciation, capital equipment or other costs of Terra Income Advisors’ own administrative items, or (ii) salaries, fringe benefits, travel expenses and other administrative items incurred or allocated to any controlling person of Terra Income Advisors.

Servicing Plan

On September 30, 2017, the Board adopted the servicing plan (the “Servicing Plan”). Pursuant to the Servicing Plan, Terra Capital Markets receives a servicing fee at an annual rate of 1.125% of the most recently published NAV per share of the Company’s common stock, excluding shares sold through the DRIP, in exchange for providing certain administrative support services. With respect to each share sold, the servicing fee will be payable annually on the anniversary of the applicable month of purchase. Terra Capital Markets, in its discretion, may re-allow a portion of such servicing fee to participating dealers for performing certain administrative support services. The Servicing Plan will remain in effect for so long as such continuance is approved quarterly by the Board, including a majority of the directors who are not “interested persons” as defined in the 1940 Act and who have no direct or indirect financial interest in the operation of the Servicing Plan or in any agreements entered into in connection therewith. In addition, the Board will review all payments made pursuant to the Servicing Plan at least quarterly. The Company will no longer incur the annual servicing fee upon the earlier of (i) the aggregate underwriting compensation from all sources, including selling commissions, dealer manager fees, broker-dealer fees, and servicing fees would exceed 10% of the gross proceeds in the Offering, (ii) with respect to a specific share, the date that such share is redeemed or is no longer outstanding, and (iii) the date, if any, upon which a liquidity event occurs.

Participation Agreements

The Company may enter into participation agreements with related and unrelated parties, primarily other affiliated funds of Terra Income Advisors. The participation agreements provide the Company with the opportunity to invest along the same terms, conditions, price and rights in the specified investment. The purpose of the participation agreements is to allow the Company and an affiliate to originate a specified investment when, individually, the Company does not have the liquidity to do so or to achieve a certain level of portfolio diversification. The Company may transfer portions of its investments to other participants or it may be a participant to an investment held by another entity.

ASC Topic 860, Transfers and Servicing (“ASC 860”), establishes accounting and reporting standards for transfers of financial assets. ASC 860-10 provides consistent standards for distinguishing transfers of financial assets that are sales from transfers that are secured borrowings. The Company has determined that the participation agreements it enters into are accounted for as secured borrowings under ASC Topic 860 (see “Participation Interests” in Note 2 and “Obligations under Participation Agreements” in Note 3).

Participation interest purchased by the Company: The below tables list the investment interests participated by the Company via participation agreement (each, a “PA”) as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. In accordance with the terms of each PA, each Participant’s rights and obligations, including interest income and other income (e.g., exit fee and prepayment income) and related fees/expenses are based upon its respective pro-rata participation interest in such investments, as specified in the respective PA. The Company’s share of the investment is repayable only from the proceeds received from the related borrower/issuer of the investment, and therefore the Company is also subject to the credit risk (i.e., risk of default by the underlying borrower/issuer).

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Pursuant to each PA, the affiliated fund receives and allocates the interest income and other related investment incomes in respect of the investment to the Company. The Company pays related expenses (i.e., the base management fee) directly to Terra Income Advisors.

(1)On June 27, 2018, the Company entered into a participation agreement with Terra Property Trust, Inc. to sell a 25% participation interest, or $4.3 million, in a $17.0 million mezzanine loan. As of September 30, 2020, this loan was fully funded.

Co-investment

As a BDC, the Company is subject to certain regulatory restrictions in making its investments. For example, the Company may be prohibited under the 1940 Act from knowingly participating in certain transactions with its affiliates without the prior approval of its Board who are not interested persons and, in some cases, prior approval by the SEC. The SEC has granted the Company exemptive relief permitting it, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, to co-invest in certain privately negotiated investment transactions with certain affiliates of Terra Income Advisors, including Terra Secured Income Fund, LLC, Terra Secured Income Fund 2, LLC, Terra Secured Income Fund 3, LLC, Terra Secured Income Fund 4, LLC, Terra Secured Income Fund 5, LLC, Terra Secured Income Fund 5 International, Terra Income Fund International and Terra Secured Income Fund 7, LLC, Terra Property Trust, Inc., Terra Property Trust 2, Inc. and any future BDC or closed-end management investment company that is registered under the 1940 Act and is advised by Terra Income Advisors or its affiliated investment advisers (the “Co-Investment Affiliates”). However, the Company will be prohibited from engaging in certain transactions with its affiliates even under the terms of this exemptive order. The Company believes this relief will not only enhance its ability to further its

TABLE OF CONTENTS

investment objectives and strategy, but may also increase favorable investment opportunities for the Company, in part by allowing the Company to participate in larger investments, together with its Co-Investment Affiliates, than would be available to the Company if it had not obtained such relief.

In January 2018, the Company and Terra Property Trust, Inc. co-invested in an $8.9 million mezzanine loan that bears interest at an annual fixed rate of 12.75% and matured on March 31, 2019. In March 2019, the maturity date of the loan was extended to July 1, 2019. In June 2019, the maturity of the loan was extended to September 30, 2019. In August 2019, the loan was repaid in full.

Note 5. Commitments and Contingencies

Impact of COVID-19

As further discussed in Note 2, the full extent of the impact of COVID-19 on the global economy generally, and the Company’s business in particular, is uncertain. As of September 30, 2020, no contingencies have been recorded on the Company’s balance sheet as a result of COVID-19, however as the global pandemic continues and the economic implications worsen, it may have long-term impacts on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. Refer to Note 2 for further discussion of COVID-19.

Funding Commitments

In the ordinary course of business, the Company may enter into future funding commitments, which are subject to the borrower meeting certain performance-related metrics that are monitored by the Company. As of September 30, 2020, the Company did not have any unfunded commitments. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had $4.5 million of unfunded commitments. The Company maintained sufficient cash on hand to fund such unfunded commitments, including matching these commitments with principal repayments on outstanding loans.

Other

The Company enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification provisions. The Company’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown; however, the Company has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts. Management of Terra Income Advisors has reviewed the Company’s existing contracts and expects the risk of loss to the Company to be remote.

The Company is not currently subject to any material legal proceedings and, to the Company’s knowledge, no material legal proceedings are threatened against the Company. From time to time, the Company may be a party to certain legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, including proceedings relating to the enforcement of the Company’s rights under contracts with its portfolio companies. While the outcome of any legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company does not expect that any such proceedings will have a material adverse effect upon its financial condition or results of operations.

See Note 4. “Related Party Transactions”, for a discussion of the Company’s commitments to Terra Income Advisors.

Note 6. Income Taxes

The Company elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Code commencing with its short taxable year beginning October 1, 2018 and ending December 31, 2018. In order to qualify as a REIT, the Company is required, among other things, to distribute at least 90% of its REIT net taxable income to the stockholders and meet certain tests regarding the nature of its income and assets. Because federal income tax regulations differ from U.S. GAAP, distributions in accordance with tax regulations may differ from net investment for financial reporting purposes. Differences may be permanent or temporary in nature. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. Differences in classification may also result from the treatment of short-term gains as ordinary income for tax purposes.

Taxable income generally differs from net increase in net assets resulting from operations for financial reporting purposes due to temporary and permanent differences in the recognition of income and expenses and generally excludes unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments as investment gains and losses are not included in taxable income until they are realized.

The terms of the previous DRIP otherwise remain unchanged. In accordance with the terms of the DRIP, the amended and restated DRIP went into effect on September 8, 2018.

The Company implemented a share repurchase program whereby every quarter the Company offers to repurchase up to 2.5% of the weighed-average number of shares outstanding in the prior calendar year at a price per share equal to the most recently disclosed NAV per share of its common stock immediately prior to the date of repurchase. The purpose of the share repurchase program is to provide stockholders with liquidity, because there is otherwise no public market for the Company’s common stock. In addition, the Board may amend, suspend or terminate the share repurchase program upon 30 days’ notice. On March 25, 2020, the Board unanimously approved the suspension of the operation of the share repurchase program, effective as of April 30, 2020. The share repurchase program will remain suspended until such time as the Board approves its resumption.

In addition, on March 25, 2020, the Board unanimously determined to terminate the Company’s previously announced quarterly tender offer pursuant to the share repurchase program (the “Tender Offer”) to purchase a portion of its issued and outstanding shares of common stock (“Shares”). In determining to terminate the Tender Offer, the Board considered factors related to the impact that the global pandemic of the novel coronavirus that causes the disease known as COVID-19 and the measures taken by governmental agencies and employers in response to COVID-19, including (i) the ongoing disruption to the global economy and financial markets, (ii) the suspension of business and temporary closure of facilities in an attempt to curb the spread of the illness, (iii) the desire to preserve liquidity in the Company, and (iv) the Company’s projected financial condition, liquidity needs, capital needs and operating performance. As a result of this termination, no Shares were purchased in the Tender Offer and all Shares previously tendered and not withdrawn were promptly returned to tendering holders.

For the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company repurchased 1,600 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $9.15 per share, as a result of an adjustment from the Q4 2019 tender offering. There was no common stock repurchased for the three months ended June 30 and September 30, 2020.

The following table provides information with respect to the repurchases of the Company’s common stock for the nine months ended September 30, 2019:


Period	Total Number of Shares Repurchased	Average Price Paid per Share		Maximum Number of Shares Allowed to be Repurchased
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019:
Three Months Ended March 31, 2019	116,955	$	9.47	223,679
Three Months Ended June 30, 2019 (1)	357,127	$	9.37	223,679
Three Months Ended September 30, 2019 (1)	315,872	$	9.25	223,679

_______________

(1)Shares validly tendered exceeded the maximum number of shares allowed to be repurchased, however, the Company elected to purchase all shares validly tendered.

Note 9. Net Increase in Net Assets

Income per share is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Other potentially dilutive shares, and the related impact to earnings, are considered when calculating earnings per share on a diluted basis. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, there were no dilutive shares.

_______________

(1)The per share data was derived by using the weighted average shares outstanding during the applicable period.

(2)The impact on net asset value was less than $(0.005) for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

(3)The per share data for distributions reflects the actual amount of distributions declared per share during the period.

(4)The continuous issuance of shares of common stock pursuant to the DRIP and the Company’s repurchases of shares impacted the net asset value per share.

(5)Total return is calculated assuming a purchase of shares of common stock at the current net asset value on the first day and a sale at the current net asset value on the last day of the periods reported. Distributions, if any, are assumed for purposes of this calculation to be reinvested at prices obtained under the DRIP. The total return does not consider the effect of any selling commissions or charges that may have been incurred in connection with the sale of shares of our common stock.

(6)These ratios are calculated using annualized net investment income and operating expenses.

(7)Excluding the reversal of previously accrued incentive fees on capital gains for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the ratio of operating expenses to average net assets was 6.97% and 6.26%, respectively.

Overview

We were incorporated under the general corporation laws of the State of Maryland on May 15, 2013 and commenced operations on June 24, 2015, upon the raising of gross proceeds in excess of $2.0 million from sales of shares of our common stock in our continuous public offering, including sales to persons who are affiliated with us or Terra Income Advisors (the “Minimum Offering Requirement”). Prior to satisfying the Minimum Offering Requirement, we had no operations except for matters relating to our organization and registration. We are an externally managed, non-diversified, closed-end management investment company that has elected to be regulated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), and previously elected to be taxed for federal income tax purposes, beginning with our taxable year ended September 30, 2015, and qualified annually thereafter, as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Code. On December 31, 2018, we announced our intention to change our tax election from taxation as a RIC to taxation as a REIT. The REIT tax election allows us to benefit from the preferential tax treatment afforded to RICs and REITs without us being subject to RIC-specific diversification restrictions. We elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Code commencing with our short taxable year beginning October 1, 2018 and ending December 31, 2018. Concurrent with the change in tax election, we changed our fiscal year end from September 30 to December 31 to satisfy the REIT requirement. We have elected to be taxed and have continued to qualify to be taxed as a REIT for the taxable year ending December 31, 2019.

Our investment activities are externally managed by Terra Income Advisors and supervised by our board of directors (the “Board”), a majority of whom are independent. Under the investment advisory and administration services agreement (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”), we have agreed to pay Terra Income Advisors an annual base management fee based on our average quarterly gross assets, as well as incentive fees based on our performance. We also agreed to pay Terra Capital Markets a servicing fee. See “— Related Party Transactions — Compensation of Terra Income Advisors and Terra Capital Markets” below.

On February 8, 2018, a pooled investment vehicle advised by Axar Capital Management L.P. (“Axar”) entered into an investment agreement with Terra Capital Partners and its affiliates pursuant to which Axar acquired from the respective owners thereof a 65.7% economic and voting interest in Terra Capital Partners and an initial 49% economic interest, but no voting interest, in Terra Income Advisors. On November 30, 2018, Axar purchased the remaining 34.3% economic interest in Terra Capital Partners (such transactions, together, the “Axar Transaction”). On April 25, 2019, we held our annual meeting of stockholders, at which time a new Investment Advisory Agreement was approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote at the annual meeting. Accordingly, on April 30, 2019, Axar acquired the remaining 51% economic interest and 100% of the voting interest in Terra Income Advisors and we and Terra Income Advisors entered into a new Investment Advisory Agreement. Such new Investment Advisory Agreement has the same economic terms and is in all material respects otherwise on the same terms as the Investment Advisory Agreement in effect immediately prior to April 30, 2019, except for the date of the agreement. Pursuant to Section 15 of the 1940 Act, the new Investment Advisory Agreement has an initial two year term, but will be required to be renewed annually thereafter at an in-person meeting of our Board.

Our primary investment objectives are to pay attractive and stable cash distributions and to preserve, protect and return capital contributions to stockholders. Our investment strategy is to use substantially all of the proceeds of the Offering to originate and manage a diversified portfolio consisting of (i) commercial real estate loans to U.S. companies qualifying as

TABLE OF CONTENTS

“eligible portfolio companies” under the 1940 Act, including mezzanine loans, first and second lien mortgage loans, subordinated mortgage loans, bridge loans and other commercial real estate-related loans related to or secured by high quality commercial real estate in the United States and (ii) preferred equity real estate investments in U.S. companies qualifying as “eligible portfolio companies” under the 1940 Act. We may also purchase select commercial real estate-related debt securities, such as commercial mortgage-backed securities or collateralized debt obligations.

The level of our investment activity depends on many factors, including the amount of debt and equity capital available to prospective borrowers, the level of refinancing activity for such companies, the availability of credit to finance transactions, the general economic environment and the competitive environment for the types of investments we make. Our distributions may exceed our earnings. Therefore, portions of the distributions that we make may represent a return of capital to investors for tax purposes, which will lower investors’ tax basis in their shares.

As of September 30, 2020, there has been a global outbreak of a novel coronavirus, or COVID-19, which has spread to over 200 countries and territories, including the United States, and has spread to every state in the United States. The World Health Organization has designated COVID-19 as a pandemic, and numerous countries, including the United States, have declared national emergencies with respect to COVID-19. The global impact of the outbreak has been rapidly evolving, and as cases of COVID-19 have continued to be identified in additional countries, many countries have reacted by instituting quarantines and restrictions on travel, closing financial markets and/or restricting trading, and limiting operations of non-essential offices and retail centers. Such actions are creating disruption in global supply chains, increasing rates of unemployment and adversely impacting many industries. The outbreak could have a continued adverse impact on economic and market conditions and trigger a period of global economic slowdown.

We believe that compelling opportunities for us will emerge as a result of the economic downtown caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. While it has had a demonstrable effect on employment, the economy and the national psyche, the impact of the pandemic on property values has yet to be fully realized. The reason is that property values are the result of slow moving forces, including consumer behavior, supply and demand for space, availability and pricing of mortgage financing and investor demand for property. As these factors become clear and commercial real estate is repriced accordingly, we believe there will be abundant opportunities available to experienced alternative lenders such as us to provide financing for property acquisition, refinancing, development and redevelopment on attractive terms that reflect the new realities of the economy.

Revenues

We generate revenue primarily in the form of interest on the debt securities that we hold. We make debt investments that bear interest at fixed and floating rates. Interest on debt securities is generally payable monthly. The principal amount of the debt securities and any accrued but unpaid interest generally become due at the maturity date. In addition, we may generate revenue in the form of exit fees payable upon repayment of the loans we hold, origination fees for loans we originate, commitment and other fees in connection with transactions, all of which are recorded as interest income. As prepayment(s), partial or full, occurs on an investment, prepayment income is recognized. Preferred returns earned on any preferred equity investments, if any, is recognized on an accrual basis to the extent that we expect to collect such amounts.

Expenses

Our primary operating expenses include interest expense from obligations under participation agreements, professional fees, payment of adviser fees and reimbursement of expenses to Terra Income Advisors and other expenses necessary for our operations. We bear other expenses, which include, among other things:

•the cost of calculating our net asset value (“NAV”), including the related fees and cost of any third-party valuation services;

•the cost of effecting sales and repurchases of shares of our common stock and other securities;

•fees payable to third parties relating to, or associated with, monitoring our financial and legal affairs;

•making investments and valuing investments, including fees and expenses associated with performing due diligence reviews of prospective investments;

•interest payable on debt, if any, incurred to finance our investments;

•transfer agent and custodial fees;

•fees and expenses associated with marketing efforts;

•servicing fees;

•federal and state registration fees;

•federal, state and local taxes;

TABLE OF CONTENTS

•independent directors’ fees and expenses, including travel expenses;

•costs of director and stockholder meetings, proxy statements, stockholders’ reports and notices;

•costs of fidelity bonds, directors and officers/errors and omissions liability insurance and other insurance premiums;

•direct costs, including those relating to printing of stockholder reports and advertising or sales materials, mailing and long-distance telephone expenses;

•fees and expenses associated with independent audits and outside legal costs, including compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the 1940 Act and applicable federal and state securities laws;

•costs associated with our chief compliance officer;

•brokerage commissions for our investments; and

•all other expenses incurred by us or Terra Income Advisors in connection with administering our investment portfolio, including expenses incurred by Terra Income Advisors in performing certain of its obligations under the Investment Advisory Agreement.

We reimburse Terra Income Advisors for expenses necessary to perform services related to our administration and operation. The amount of this reimbursement is set at the lesser of (i) Terra Income Advisors’ actual costs incurred in providing such services and (ii) the amount that the Board, including a majority of our independent directors, estimates we would be required to pay alternative service providers for comparable services in the same geographic location. Terra Income Advisors is required to allocate the cost of such services to us based on objective factors, such as total assets, revenues, time allocations and/or other reasonable metrics. The Board then assesses the reasonableness of such reimbursements based on the breadth, depth and quality of such services as compared to the estimated cost to us of obtaining similar services from third-party providers known to be available. In addition, the Board considers whether any single third-party service provider would be capable of providing all such services at comparable cost and quality. Finally, the Board compares the total amount paid to Terra Income Advisors for such services as a percentage of our net assets to the same ratio as reported by other comparable BDCs. We do not reimburse Terra Income Advisors for any services for which it receives a separate fee, or for rent, depreciation, utilities, capital equipment or other administrative items allocated to a controlling person of Terra Income Advisors.

Net Loan Investment Portfolio

The tables below present our investment portfolio on a net investment basis, which represents our proportionate share of the investments, based on our economic ownership of these investments. This measure is used in reports to our executive management and is used as a component to the asset base from which we calculate our base management fee. We believe that this measure provides useful information to investors because it represents our total assets under management and the financial exposure of each investment individually.

Portfolio Investment Activity

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, we invested $1.2 million and $6.0 million in marketable securities and received proceeds from sale of marketable securities of $0.2 million and $6.0 million, resulting in net investments of $1.0 million and less than $0.1 million, respectively. There were no marketable securities invested or sold for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019.

Additionally, for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, we invested $0.6 million and $6.0 million in add-on loans, and had $2.6 million and $4.2 million of repayments, resulting in net loan repayments of $2.0 million and net loan investments of $1.8 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, we invested $6.3 million and $13.2 million in add-on loans, and had $3.1 million and $23.1 million of loan repayments, resulting in net loan investments of $3.3 million and net loan repayments of $9.9 million, respectively.

Obligations under Participation Agreements

We may enter into participation agreements with related and unrelated parties, primarily other affiliated funds of our sponsor. The participation agreements provide us with the opportunity to invest along the same terms, conditions, price, and rights in the specified investment. The purpose of the participation agreements is to allow us and an affiliate to originate a specified investment when, individually, we do not have the liquidity to do so or to achieve a certain level of portfolio diversification. We may transfer portions of our investments to other participants or we may be a participant to an investment held by another entity.

Certain partial loan sales do not qualify for sale accounting because these sales do not meet the definition of a “participating interest,” as defined in the guidance, in order for sale treatment to be allowed. Participations or other partial loan sales which do not meet the definition of a participating interest remain as an investment on the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities and the portion transferred is recorded as obligations under participation agreements in the liabilities section of the statements of assets and liabilities.

As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, obligations under participation agreements at fair value was $4.3 million and $3.2 million, respectively, and the weighted average interest rate on the obligations under participation agreements as of both dates was 13.0%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, we transferred $1.1 million and $2.0 million of investments to affiliates through participation agreements, respectively, and did not make any repayments on obligations under participation agreements.

Interest Income

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to the same periods in 2019, interest income decreased by $0.1 million and $0.4 million, respectively, primarily due to a decrease in net origination, extension and disposition fees income as well as a decrease in interest on cash. For both comparable periods, contractual interest income was substantially the same because the increase in contractual interest income on investments resulting from an increase in weighted average interest rate on investments was substantially offset by a decrease in contractual interest income on investments resulting from a decrease in weighted average principal balance on investments.

Prepayment Fee Income

Prepayment fee income represents prepayment fees charged to borrowers for the early repayment of loans.

For each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, we received a prepayment fee income of $1.3 million on a loan that the borrower repaid more than four years before maturity. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we received prepayment fee income of $0.03 million on the early repayment of a loan.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to the same periods in 2019, total operating expenses increased by $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively. The reasons for the changes are stated below.

Base Management Fees

Under the Investment Advisory Agreement, we pay Terra Income Advisors a base management fee, which is calculated at an annual rate of 2.0% of our average gross assets.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to the same periods in 2019, base management fees decreased by $0.01 million and $0.08 million, respectively, due to a decrease in our gross assets.

(Reversal of Incentive Fees) Incentive Fees on Capital Gains

Under the Investment Advisory Agreement, we pay Terra Income Advisors an incentive fee on capital gains equal to 20.0% of our net realized and unrealized capital gains. No incentive fees on capital gains are actually payable by us with respect to unrealized gains` until those gains are realized.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company reversed the previously accrued incentive fees on capital gains of $18,620 and recorded incentive fees on capital gains of $42,997, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company reversed the previously accrued incentive fees on capital gains of $18,446 and $44,408, respectively, because we had a decrease in unrealized appreciation on investments for the periods.

Operating Expense Reimbursement to Adviser

Under the Investment Advisory Agreement, we reimburse Terra Income Advisors for operating expenses incurred in connection with administrative services provided to us, including compensation to administrative personnel.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to the same periods in 2019, operating expense reimbursement to Adviser decreased by $9.7 thousand and $52.0 thousand, respectively, primarily due to a decrease in our allocation ratio in relation to affiliated funds managed by Terra Income Advisors and its affiliates.

Servicing Fees

On September 30, 2017, we adopted the servicing plan (the “Servicing Plan”) pursuant to which we pay Terra Capital Markets, LLC (“Terra Capital Markets”), an affiliate of Terra Income Advisors and the dealer manager of the Offering, a servicing fee at an annual rate of 1.125% of the most recently published NAV per share of our common stock, excluding shares sold through our distribution reinvestment plan, in exchange for providing stockholder-related administrative support services. With respect to each share sold, the servicing fee is payable annually on the anniversary of the applicable month of purchase.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to the same periods in 2019, servicing fees decreased by $0.01 million and $0.09 million, respectively, due to a decrease in our NAV.

Interest Expense from Obligations under Participation Agreements

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to the same periods in 2019, interest expense from obligations under participation agreements increased by $0.1 million and $0.4 million, respectively, primarily due to an increase in the weighted average principal balance on obligations under participation agreements.

General and Administrative Expenses

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to the same period in 2019, general and administrative expenses decreased by $0.1 million, primarily due to filing and printing fees incurred in connection with our 2019 annual stockholders meeting held on April 25, 2019.

Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation or Depreciation on Investments and Obligations under Participation Agreements

Net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments and obligations under participation agreements reflects the change in our portfolio investment values during the reporting period, including any reversal of previously recorded unrealized gains or losses, when gains or losses are realized. Valuation of our portfolio investments and obligations under participation agreements fluctuates over time, reflecting changes in the market yields for loans and debt investments, and any associated premium or discount and origination or exit fee are amortized down or accreted up to par value as each investment approaches maturity.

2020 — For the three months ended September 30, 2020, we recorded an increase in net change in unrealized depreciation on investments of $0.2 million, reflecting the early repayment of a loan, at which time we reversed the previously recorded unrealized gain. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we recorded an increase in net change in unrealized depreciation on investments of $1.0 million, primarily due to widening credit spreads partially offset by decreases in underlying index rates as a result of the macro-economic conditions impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak. For additional information concerning the COVID-19 pandemic and its potential impact on our business and our operating results, see Part II - Other information, Item 1A. Risk Factors, “The continuing spread of a new strain of coronavirus, which causes the viral disease known as COVID-19, may adversely affect our investments and operations”.

2019 — For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, we recognized an increases in unrealized depreciation on investments of $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, primarily due to several loans approaching maturity in the current periods, of which two were settled at par.

Net Realized Gain on Investments

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, we sold certain marketable securities and recognized a net realized gain on investments of $0.1 million and $1.2 million, respectively. There was no such gain for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019.

Net Increase in Net Assets Resulting from Operations

For the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, we recorded a net increase in net assets resulting from operations of $2.1 million and $1.1 million, respectively. Based on the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding, our per share net increase in net assets resulting from operations was $0.26 and $0.12, respectively.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, we recorded a net increase in net assets resulting from operations of $4.1 million and $3.0 million, respectively. Based on the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding, our per share net increase in net assets resulting from operations was $0.50 and $0.34, respectively.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

We currently generate cash primarily from cash flows from interest, dividends and fees earned from our investments and principal repayments and proceeds from sales of our investments. Our primary use of cash is for our targeted investments, payments of our expenses and cash distributions to our stockholders.

Prior to investing in securities of portfolio companies, we invest the net proceeds from the Offering and from sales and paydowns of existing investments primarily in cash, cash equivalents, U.S. government securities, repurchase agreements and high-quality debt instruments maturing in one year or less from the time of investment, consistent with our BDC election.

We may borrow funds to make investments to the extent we determine that leveraging our portfolio would be appropriate. We have not decided whether, and to what extent, we will finance portfolio investments using debt or the specific form that any such financing would take. Accordingly, we cannot predict with certainty what terms any such financing would have or the

TABLE OF CONTENTS

costs we would incur in connection with any such arrangement. We currently do not anticipate issuing any preferred stock; however, our charter authorizes us the ability to do so.

We do not have any material commitments for capital resources as of the end of the last fiscal year. We are not aware of any known trends in our capital resources or any material changes in the mix and relative cost of such resources

Cash Flows for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020

Operating Activities — For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, net cash provided by operating activities was $0.7 million. The level of cash flows used in or provided by operating activities is affected by the timing of purchases, repayments and sales of portfolio investments, among other factors. Cash flows used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 were primarily related to repayments and proceeds from sale of investments of $9.0 million, cash generated from operations of $4.0 million, partially offset by purchases of investments of $12.3 million

Financing Activities — For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, net cash used in financing activities was $1.5 million, primarily related to distributions paid to stockholders of $2.7 million, partially offset by proceeds from obligations under participation agreements of $1.1 million.

Cash Flows for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019

Operating Activities — For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, net cash provided by operating activities was $12.4 million. The level of cash flows used in or provided by operating activities is affected by the timing of purchases, repayments and sales of portfolio investments, among other factors. Cash flows provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 were primarily repayments of investments of $23.1 million, cash generated from operations of $2.5 million, partially offset by purchases of investments of $13.2 million.

Financing Activities — For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, net cash used in financing activities was $9.5 million, primarily related to distributions paid to stockholders of $4.1 million and payments for repurchases of common stock under stock repurchase plan of $7.4 million, partially offset by proceeds from obligations under participation agreements of $2.0 million.

REIT Status and Distributions

We elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Code commencing with our short taxable year beginning October 1, 2018 and ending December 31, 2018, and we believe that we have operated in such a manner to continue to be taxed as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. In order to qualify as a REIT, we are required, among other things, to distribute at least 90% of our REIT net taxable income to the stockholders and meet certain tests regarding the nature of our income and assets. As long as the distributions are declared by the later of the fifteenth day of the ninth month following the close of the taxable year or the due date of the tax return, including extensions, distributions paid up to one year after the current tax year can be carried back to the prior tax year for determining the distributions paid in such tax year. We are also subject to nondeductible federal excise taxes if we do not distribute at least 85.0% of our ordinary income, 95.0% of our capital gain net income, if any, and any recognized and undistributed income from prior years on which we paid no federal income taxes. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, we have made sufficient distributions to our stockholders to qualify to be taxed as a REIT and to preclude the imposition of either U.S. federal corporate income or excise taxation.

Distributions to our stockholders are recorded as of the record date. Subject to the discretion of the Board and applicable legal restrictions, we authorize and declare ordinary cash distributions on either a monthly or quarterly basis and pay such distributions on a monthly basis. We calculate each stockholder’s specific distribution amount for the period using daily record dates, and each stockholder’s distributions begin to accrue on the date we accept such stockholder’s subscription for shares of our common stock. From time to time at the discretion of the Board, we may also pay special interim distributions in the form of cash or shares of common stock.

During certain periods, our distributions may exceed our earnings. As a result, it is possible that some or all of the distributions we make will represent a return of capital for tax purposes. A return of capital generally is a return of an investor’s investment rather than a return of earnings or gains derived from our investment activities and will be made after deducting the fees and expenses payable in connection with the Offering, including any fees payable to Terra Income Advisors. Each year a statement on Form 1099-DIV identifying the sources of the distributions will be mailed to our stockholders.

We intend to continue to make our ordinary distributions in the form of cash out of assets legally available for distribution unless stockholders elect to receive their cash distributions in additional shares of our common stock under our distribution reinvestment plan. Any distributions reinvested under the plan will nevertheless remain taxable to a U.S. stockholder.

We have adopted an “opt in” distribution reinvestment plan for our stockholders. As a result, if we make a cash distribution, our stockholders will receive distributions in cash unless they specifically “opt in” to the distribution reinvestment plan so as to have their cash distributions reinvested in additional shares of our common stock. However, certain state

TABLE OF CONTENTS

authorities or regulators may impose restrictions from time to time that may prevent or limit a stockholder’s ability to participate in the distribution reinvestment plan.

We may fund our cash distributions to stockholders from any sources of funds available to us, including, borrowings, net investment income from operations, capital gain proceeds from the sale of assets, non-capital gain proceeds from the sale of assets, dividends or other distributions paid to us on account of preferred and common equity investments in portfolio companies. We have not established limits on the amount of funds we may use from available sources to make distributions.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our financial statements are prepared in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”), which requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Critical accounting policies are those that require the application of management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often because of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and that may change in subsequent periods. In preparing the financial statements, management has made estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. In preparing the financial statements, management has utilized available information, including industry standards and the current economic environment, among other factors, in forming its estimates and judgments, giving due consideration to materiality. Actual results may differ from these estimates. In addition, other companies may utilize different estimates, which may impact the comparability of our results of operations to those of companies in similar businesses. As we execute our expected operating plans, we will describe additional critical accounting policies in the notes to our future financial statements in addition to those discussed below.

Valuation of Investments

We measure the value of our investments in accordance with fair value accounting guidance promulgated under U.S. GAAP, which establishes a hierarchical disclosure framework that prioritizes and ranks the level of market price observability used in measuring investments at fair value. Market price observability is affected by a number of factors, including the type of investment and the characteristics specific to the investment. Investments with readily available actively quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices, generally, will have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value.

Investments measured and reported at fair value will be classified and disclosed in one of the following categories:

•Level 1 — observable inputs, such as quoted prices in active markets. Publicly listed equities, debt securities and publicly listed derivatives will be included in Level 1.

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, an investment’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and we consider factors specific to the investment. We expect most of the loan investments that will be held in the investment portfolio to fall into Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of our investment in preferred stock is determined based on quoted prices in an active market and is classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Valuation of Obligations under Participation Agreements

We have elected the fair value option under Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 825, Financial Instruments, relating to accounting for debt obligations at their fair value for obligations under participation agreements which arose due to partial loan sales which did not meet the criteria for sale treatment under ASC Topic 860, Transfers and Servicing. We employ the yield approach valuation methodology used for the real-estate related loan investments on our obligations under participation agreements.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Federal Income Taxes

We elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Code commencing with our short taxable year beginning October 1, 2018 and ending December 31, 2018. In order to qualify as a REIT, we are required, among other things, to distribute at least 90% of its REIT net taxable income to the stockholders and meet certain tests regarding the nature of its income and assets.

Recognition of a tax benefit or liability with respect to an uncertain tax position is required only when the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by taxing authorities. We recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax liabilities as income tax expense in the statements of operations. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, we did not incur any interest or penalties.

Contractual Obligations

We have entered into certain contracts under which we have material future commitments. On April 20, 2015, we entered into the Investment Advisory Agreement with Terra Income Advisors in accordance with the 1940 Act. The Investment Advisory Agreement became effective on June 24, 2015, the date that we met the Minimum Offering Requirement. Terra Income Advisors serves as our investment adviser in accordance with the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement. Payments under the Investment Advisory Agreement in each reporting period consist of (i) a base management fee equal to a percentage of the value of our average gross assets and (ii) an incentive fee based on our performance. Terra Income Advisors is reimbursed for allocated administrative expenses incurred on our behalf. For the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, we incurred $0.4 million and $0.4 million in base management fee under the Investment Advisory Agreement, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, we incurred $1.1 million and $1.2 million in base management fee under the Investment Advisory Agreement, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company reversed the previously accrued incentive fees on capital gains of $18,620 and recorded incentive fees on capital gains of $42,997, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company reversed the previously accrued incentive fees on capital gains of $18,446 and $44,408, respectively, because we had net unrealized capital losses for the periods. No incentive fees on capital gains are actually payable by us with respect to unrealized gains unless and until those gains are realized. For the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, we incurred $0.2 million and $0.2 million in allocated administrative expenses reimbursable to Terra Income Advisors, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, we incurred $0.6 million and $0.7 million in allocated administrative expenses reimbursable to Terra Income Advisors, respectively.

On September 30, 2017, we adopted the Servicing Plan. Pursuant to the Servicing Plan, Terra Capital Markets receives a servicing fee at an annual rate of 1.125% of the most recently published NAV per share of our common stock, excluding shares sold through the DRIP, in exchange for providing certain administrative support services. With respect to each share sold, the servicing fee will be payable annually on the anniversary of the applicable month of purchase. Terra Capital Markets, in its discretion, may re-allow a portion of such servicing fee to participating dealers for performing certain administrative support services. The Servicing Plan will remain in effect for so long as such continuance is approved quarterly by the Board, including a majority of our directors who are not “interested persons” as defined in the 1940 Act and who have no direct or indirect financial interest in the operation of the Servicing Plan or in any agreements entered into in connection therewith. In addition, the Board will review all payments made pursuant to the Servicing Plan at least quarterly. We will no longer incur the annual servicing fee upon the earlier of (i) the aggregate underwriting compensation from all sources, including selling commissions, dealer manager fees, broker-dealer fees, and servicing fees would exceed 10% of the gross proceeds in the Offering, (ii) with respect to a specific share, the date that such share is redeemed or is no longer outstanding, and (iii) the date, if any, upon which a liquidity event occurs.

For both the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, we recorded servicing fees of $0.2 million, and for both the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, we recorded servicing fees of $0.6 million. As of both September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, unpaid servicing fees were $0.1 million and were included in accrued expenses on the statements of assets and liabilities.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Other than contractual commitments and other legal contingencies incurred in the normal course of our business, we do not have any off-balance sheet financings or liabilities.

Related Party Transactions

Compensation of Terra Income Advisors and Terra Capital Markets

Pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement, we pay Terra Income Advisors a base management fee and an incentive fee. We commenced accruing fees under the Investment Advisory Agreement on June 24, 2015, upon commencement of our operations.

The base management fee is calculated at an annual rate of 2.0% of our average gross assets. The base management fee is payable quarterly in arrears and is calculated based on the average value of our gross assets at the end of the two most recently completed calendar quarters. The base management fee may or may not be taken in whole or in part at the discretion of Terra Income Advisors. All or any part of the base management fee not taken as to any quarter will be deferred without interest and may be taken in such other quarter as Terra Income Advisors shall determine. The base management fee for any partial month or quarter will be prorated for such partial period.

The incentive fee consists of two parts. The first part, which we refer to as the subordinated incentive fee on income, is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears based upon our “pre-incentive fee net investment income” for the immediately preceding quarter. The subordinated incentive fee on income is subject to a quarterly hurdle rate, expressed as a rate of return on adjusted capital at the beginning of the most recently completed calendar quarter, of 2.0% (8.0% annualized), subject to a “catch-up” feature. For this purpose, “pre-incentive fee net investment income” means interest income, dividend income and any other income (including any other fees, other than fees for providing managerial assistance, such as commitment, origination, structuring, diligence and consulting fees or other fees that we receive from portfolio companies) accrued during the calendar quarter, minus our operating expenses for the quarter (including the base management fee, expenses reimbursed to Terra Income Advisors under the Investment Advisory Agreement and any interest expense and dividends paid on any issued and outstanding preferred stock, but excluding the incentive fee). Pre-incentive fee net investment income includes, in the case of investments with a deferred interest feature (such as original issue discount, debt instruments with payment-in-kind interest and zero-coupon securities), accrued income that we have not yet received in cash. Pre-incentive fee net investment income does not include any realized capital gains, realized capital losses or unrealized capital appreciation or depreciation. The calculation of the subordinated incentive fee on income for each quarter is as follows:

•No incentive fee is payable to Terra Income Advisors in any calendar quarter in which our pre-incentive fee net investment income does not exceed the hurdle rate of 2.0% (8.0% annualized);

•100% of our pre-incentive fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds the hurdle rate but is less than or equal to 2.5% in any calendar quarter (10.0% annualized) is payable to Terra Income Advisors, all or any portion of which may be waived or deferred in Terra Income Advisors’ discretion. We refer to this portion of our pre-incentive fee net investment income (which exceeds the hurdle rate but is less than or equal to 2.5%) as the “catch-up.” The catch-up provision is intended to provide Terra Income Advisors with an incentive fee of 20.0% on all of our pre-incentive fee net investment income when our pre-incentive fee net investment income reaches 2.5% in any calendar quarter; and

•20.0% of the amount of our pre-incentive fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds 2.5% in any calendar quarter (10.0% annualized) is payable to Terra Income Advisors once the hurdle rate is reached and the catch-up is achieved.

The second part of the incentive fee, which we refer to as the incentive fee on capital gains, is an incentive fee on capital gains earned on liquidated investments from the portfolio and is determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year (or upon termination of the Investment Advisory Agreement). This fee equals 20.0% of our incentive fee on capital gains, which equals our realized capital gains on a cumulative basis from inception, calculated as of the end of the applicable period, computed net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation on a cumulative basis, less the aggregate amount of any previously paid capital gains incentive fees. On a quarterly basis, we accrue (but do not pay) for the capital gains incentive fee by calculating such fee as if it were due and payable as of the end of such period.

We reimburse Terra Income Advisors for expenses necessary to perform services related to our administration and operation. The amount of this reimbursement is set at the lesser of (i) Terra Income Advisors’ actual costs incurred in providing such services and (ii) the amount that the Board, including a majority of our independent directors, estimates we would be required to pay alternative service providers for comparable services in the same geographic location. Terra Income Advisors is required to allocate the cost of such services to us based on objective factors such as total assets, revenues, time allocations and/or other reasonable metrics. The Board then assesses the reasonableness of such reimbursements based on the breadth, depth and quality of such services as compared to the estimated cost to us of obtaining similar services from third-party providers known to be available. In addition, the Board considers whether any single third-party service provider would be capable of providing all such services at comparable cost and quality. Finally, the Board compares the total amount paid to Terra Income Advisors for such services as a percentage of our net assets to the same ratio as reported by other comparable BDCs. We do not reimburse Terra Income Advisors for any services for which it receives a separate fee, or for rent, depreciation, utilities, capital equipment or other administrative items allocated to a controlling person of Terra Income Advisors.

On September 30, 2017, we adopted the Servicing Plan. For both the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, we recorded servicing fees of $0.2 million, and for both the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, we recorded servicing fees of $0.6 million. As of both September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, unpaid servicing fees were $0.1 million and were included in accrued expenses on the statements of assets and liabilities.

Potential Conflicts of Interest

Terra Income Advisors, our investment adviser, currently serves as the investment manager to the Terra Income Funds. While Terra Income Advisors intends to allocate investment opportunities in a fair and equitable manner consistent with our investment objectives and strategies, if necessary, so that we will not be disadvantaged in relation to any other client of Terra Income Advisors, it is possible that some investment opportunities may be provided to the Terra Income Funds rather than to us.

Distributions

Distributions to our stockholders are recorded as of the applicable record date. Subject to the discretion of the Board and applicable legal restrictions, we intend to authorize and declare ordinary cash distributions on either a monthly or quarterly basis and pay such distributions on a monthly basis. Net realized capital gains, if any, will be distributed or deemed distributed at least annually.

Capital Gains Incentive Fee

Pursuant to the terms of the advisory agreement, the incentive fee on capital gains earned on liquidated investments of our portfolio is determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year (or upon termination of the advisory agreement). Such fee equals 20% of our incentive fee on capital gains (i.e., its realized capital gains on a cumulative basis from inception, calculated as of the end of the applicable period, net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation on a cumulative basis), less the aggregate amount of any previously paid capital gains incentive fees. Once any amount of this fee has been earned, on a quarterly basis, we accrue (but do not pay) for the capital gains incentive fee by calculating such fee as if it were due and payable as of the end of such period.

Exemptive Relief

The SEC has granted us exemptive relief from the provisions of Sections 17(d) and 57(a)(4) of the 1940 Act, thereby permitting us, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, to co-invest in certain privately negotiated investment transactions with the Terra Income Funds, Terra Property Trust, Inc., Terra Property Trust 2, Inc. and any future BDC or closed-end management investment company that is registered under the 1940 Act and is advised by Terra Income Advisors or its affiliated investment advisers (the “Co-Investment Affiliates”). However, we will be prohibited from engaging in certain transactions with our affiliates even under the terms of this exemptive order. We believe the relief granted to us under this exemptive order may not only enhance our ability to further our investment objectives and strategies, but may also increase favorable investment opportunities for us, in part by allowing us to participate in larger investments, together with our Co-Investment Affiliates, than would be available to us in the absence of such relief.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

We may be subject to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates. To the extent that we borrow money to make investments, our net investment income will be dependent upon the difference between the rate at which we borrow funds and the rate at which we invest these funds. In periods of rising interest rates, our cost of funds would increase, which may reduce our net investment income. As a result, there can be no assurance that a significant change in market interest rates will not have a material adverse effect on our net investment income.

As of September 30, 2020, we had four investments with an aggregate principal balance of $47.8 million that provides for interest income indexed to LIBOR, all of which are subject to a LIBOR floor. A decrease of 1% or an increase of 1% in LIBOR would have no impact on our annual interest income because the interest rates are protected by a LIBOR floor in the respective loan agreements.

We may hedge against interest rate and currency exchange rate fluctuations by using standard hedging instruments, such as futures, options and forward contracts, subject to the requirements of the 1940 Act. While hedging activities may insulate us against adverse changes in interest rates, they may also limit our ability to participate in benefits of lower interest rates with respect to our portfolio of investments with fixed interest rates. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, we did not engage in interest rate hedging activities.

In addition, we may have risks regarding portfolio valuation. See “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Critical Accounting Policies — Valuation of Investments.”

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2020. Based on that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that we would meet our disclosure obligations.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During the most recent fiscal quarter, there was no change in our internal controls over financial reporting, as defined under Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

Neither we nor Terra Income Advisors is currently subject to any material legal proceedings, nor, to our knowledge, are material legal proceedings threatened against us or Terra Income Advisors. From time to time, we and individuals employed by Terra Income Advisors may be a party to certain legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, including proceedings relating to the enforcement of our rights under contracts with our portfolio companies. While the outcome of these legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not expect that these proceedings will have a material effect upon our financial condition or results of operations.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

There have been no material changes from the risk factors set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 other than the ones below.

The continuing spread of a new strain of coronavirus, which causes the viral disease known as COVID-19, may adversely affect our investments and operations.

Since its discovery in December 2019, a new strain of coronavirus, which causes the viral disease known as COVID-19, has spread from China to most other countries, including the United States. The World Health Organization has declared the coronavirus outbreak a pandemic, the Health and Human Services Secretary has declared a public health emergency in the United States in response to the outbreak and the President of the United States has declared the coronavirus outbreak a national emergency. The outbreak of COVID-19 has severely impacted global economic activity and caused significant volatility and negative pressure in financial markets. The global impact of the outbreak has been rapidly evolving and many countries, including the United States, have reacted by instituting quarantines, mandating business and school closures and restricting travel. Many experts predict that the outbreak will trigger a period of global economic slowdown or a global recession. Quarantines and shelter-at-home orders have been imposed in many areas of the country in response to outbreaks of COVID-19, and may be imposed more extensively in the future. In many cases, states of emergency have been declared, schools have been closed, bans on public events have been instituted, limitations on travel have been imposed, and businesses have been ordered to temporarily cease all in-person operations. These responses may be in place for a considerable period of time and may cause significant economic disruption, which could adversely affect our performance and financial results. The COVID-19 pandemic and related government responses are expected to have a continued adverse impact on economic and market conditions in the short term and potentially the long term, and could trigger a period of global economic slowdown. The rapid development and fluidity of this situation precludes any prediction as to the ultimate adverse impact of the novel coronavirus. Nevertheless, the COVID-19 pandemic presents material uncertainty and risk with respect to our performance and financial results.

As a result of a significant portion of our investments being in preferred equity of entities that own, or mezzanine loans secured by, office, multifamily and hospitality properties located in the United States, the COVID-19 pandemic will impact our investments and operating results to the extent that its continued spread within the United States reduces occupancy, increases the cost of operation or results in limited hours or necessitates the closure of such properties. The borrowers under the mezzanine loans or preferred equity in which we invest may fail to make timely and required payments under the terms of such instruments. In addition, quarantines, states of emergencies and other measures taken to curb the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic may negatively impact the ability of such properties to continue to obtain necessary goods and services or provide

adequate staffing, which may also adversely affect our investments and operating results. In particular, with respect to our investments secured by hospitality properties, a variety of factors related to the COVID-19 pandemic have, and are expected to continue to, cause a decline in business and leisure travel, including, but not limited to, (i) restrictions on travel imposed by governmental entities and employers, (ii) the postponement or cancellation of industry conventions and conferences, music and arts festivals, sporting events and other large public gatherings, (iii) the closure of amusement parks, museums and other tourist attractions, (iv) the closure of colleges and universities, and (v) negative public perceptions of travel and public gatherings in light of the perceived risks associated with the coronavirus. Since certain aspects of the services provided by the entities in which we have invested involve face to face interaction, the related COVID-19 quarantines and work and travel restrictions may reduce participation or result in a loss of business. In addition, construction projects may incur delays due to federal, state or local laws or guidelines which may impact the ability of development mangers, contractors, subcontractors and other development-related personnel to perform work under normal circumstances.

The world-wide economic downturn resulting from the coronavirus pandemic could negatively impact our investments and operations, as well as our ability to make distributions to stockholders. The extent to which the coronavirus pandemic impacts our investments and operations will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the duration of the outbreak, new information that may emerge concerning the severity of the coronavirus and the actions taken to contain the coronavirus or treat its impact, among others.

Only a limited number of shares may be repurchased, however, and, to the extent investors are able to sell their shares under our share repurchase program, they may not be able to recover the amount of their investment in those shares.

The share repurchase program includes numerous restrictions that limit investors’ ability to sell their shares. Further, we will have no obligation to repurchase shares if the repurchase would violate the restrictions on distributions under federal law or Maryland law, which prohibits distributions that would cause a corporation to fail to meet statutory tests of solvency. Any of the foregoing limitations may prevent us from accommodating all repurchase requests made in any year.

In addition, on March 25, 2020, in light of the difficult market conditions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, and in an effort to preserve liquidity, the Board unanimously approved the suspension of the operation of the share repurchase program, effective as of April 30, 2020. There can be no assurances about when or if the Board will determine to approve the resumption of the share repurchase program. Further, the share repurchase program has many limitations and should not be relied upon as a method to sell shares promptly or at a desired price.
