The registrant permitted, subject to certain conditions, its lender and securities lending counterparty, as principal and not as agent for the registrant, to rehypothecate such pledged portfolio securities up to the amount of the loan balance outstanding. The registrant received a portion of the fees earned by its lender and securities lending counterparty in connection with this permitted rehypothecation of portfolio securities. Other than acting as the registrant's creditor, the registrant's lender and securities lending counterparty did not provide any services to the registrant in connection with securities lending. The revenue split represents an amount agreed between the registrant and its lender as part of the economic terms on which such lender extended credit to the registrant. The registrant does not otherwise engage in any securities lending activities. INTERNAL CONTROL RPT 3 rmr_n-cen.txt Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm Board of Directors and Shareholders RMR Mortgage Trust In planning and performing our audit of the consolidated financial statements of RMR Mortgage Trust (the Trust) as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), we considered the Trust's internal control over financial reporting, including controls over safeguarding securities, as a basis for designing our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the consolidated financial statements and to comply with the requirements of Form N-CEN, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. The management of the Trust is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting. In fulfilling this responsibility, estimates and judgments by management are required to assess the expected benefits and related costs of controls. A Trust's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). A Trust's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (a) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Trust; (b) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures of the Trust are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Trust; and (c) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of a Trust's assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements. Because of inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. A deficiency in internal control over financial reporting exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Trust's annual or interim consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Our consideration of the Trust's internal control over financial reporting was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph and would not necessarily disclose all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses under standards established by the PCAOB. However, we noted no deficiencies in the Trust's internal control over financial reporting and its operation, including controls over safeguarding securities that we consider to be a material weakness as defined above as of December 31, 2020. This report is intended solely for the information and use of management and the Board of Trustees of the Trust and the Securities and Exchange Commission and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties. /s/ RSM US LLP Boston, Massachusetts February 24, 2021
