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 pursuant to the second amended and restated dealer manager agreement dated September 30, 2017 between the Company and Terra Capital Markets (the “Dealer Manager Agreement”). 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 December 23, 2020, Terra Capital Markets assigned certain of its administrative functions and certain obligations under the Dealer Manager Agreement to the Company (see Note 4).
In February 2021, the Company issued $38.4 million in aggregate principal amount of 7.00% fixed-rate notes due 2026, for net proceeds of $37.2 million, after deducting underwriting commissions of $1.2 million, see “Unsecured Notes Payable” in Note 3 for more information.
On April 1, 2021, Mavik Capital Management, LP (“Mavik”), an entity controlled by Vikram S. Uppal, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, completed a series of related transactions that resulted in all of the outstanding interests in Terra Capital Partners being acquired by Mavik for a combination of cash and interests in Mavik (the “Recapitalization”).
Prior to the Recapitalization, Terra Capital Partners was the immediate parent of Terra Income Advisors, and was ultimately controlled by Axar Real Estate Capital Group LLC (“Axar RE Manager”). In connection with the Recapitalization, Axar RE Manager assumed direct control of Terra Income Advisors by becoming its manager. Thus, the same parties that controlled Terra Income Advisors prior to the consummation of the Recapitalization have maintained control of Terra Income Advisors, and by the terms of the Recapitalization will continue to do so unless a new investment advisory and administrative services agreement between the Company and Terra Income Advisors is approved by the stockholders of the Company.
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
10


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, 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:
March 31,
20212020
Cash and cash equivalents$43,745,204 $10,288,605 
Restricted cash600,098 689,162 
Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash shown in the statements of cash flows$44,345,302 $10,977,767 

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
11


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.
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 marketable securities 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.
Deferred Debt Issuance Costs: The Company records issue discounts and other financing costs related to its debt obligation as deferred debt issuance costs, which are presented as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the related debt liability. These expenses are deferred and amortized using the straight-line method over the stated maturity of the debt obligation.
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. Pursuant to the DRIP, shares are issued at a price equal to the Company’s most recently disclosed net asset value (“NAV”) per share of its common stock immediately prior to the applicable distribution payment date.
    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
12


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 paid 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.
On December 23, 2020, Terra Capital Markets assigned to us certain of its administration support services and certain obligations under the Dealer Manager Agreement, including making future payments of the previously reallowed servicing fee under the servicing plan directly to selected dealers, effectively reducing the servicing fee to 0.75% (Note 4).
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. To the extent any of the Company’s taxable income was not previously distributed, the Company will make a dividend declaration pursuant to Section 858(a)(1) of the Code, allowing the Company to treat certain dividends that are to be distributed after the close of a taxable year as having been paid during the taxable year. 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 months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, 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 months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, 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 may ultimately differ from those estimates, and those differences could be material.
The coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic has had, and is expected to continue to have, a significant impact on local, national and global economies and has resulted in a world-wide economic slowdown. The Company continues to closely monitor the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on all aspects of its investments and operations. The Company believes the estimates and assumptions underlying its financial statements are reasonable and supportable based on the information available as of March 31, 2021; however, the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic may impact the Company’s investments and operations going forward will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence. These developments include the duration of the outbreak, the impact of the global vaccination effort, any new strains of the virus that are resistant to available vaccines, the impact of government stimulus, new information that may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19, and actions taken by federal, state and local agencies as well as the general public to contain COVID-19 or treat its impact, among others. Accordingly, any estimates and assumptions as of March 31, 2021 inherently less certain than they would be absent the current and potential impacts of COVID-19.
The financial statements include loan investments at fair value of $63.1 million and $66.2 million at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, and obligations under participation agreements at fair value of $4.3 million and $4.3 million at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, 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
13


been used had a ready market existed for the investments and obligations under participation agreements, and the differences could be material.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements: 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 certain 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 optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments apply only to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), which expanded the scope of Topic 848 to include derivative instruments impacted by discounting transition (“ASU 2021-01”). ASU 2020-04 and ASU 2021-01 are effective for all entities through December 31, 2022. The expedients and exceptions provided by the amendments do not apply to contract modifications and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated after December 31, 2022, except for hedging transactions as of December 31, 2022, that an entity has elected certain optional expedients for and that are retained through the end of the hedging relationship. In the event LIBOR is unavailable, the Company’s investment documents provide for a substitute index, on a basis generally consistent with market practice, intended to put the Company in substantially the same economic position as LIBOR. As a result, the Company does not expect the reference rate reform and the adoption of ASU 2020-04 and ASU 2021-01 to have a material impact 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 both March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, obligations under participation agreements at fair value was $4.3 million and the weighted average contractual interest rate on the obligations under participation agreements was 13.0%. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company did not transfer any investments to affiliates through participation agreements and did not make any repayments on obligations under participation agreements. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company transferred $0.9 million of investments to affiliates through participation agreements and did not make any repayments on obligations under participation agreements.
Valuation Methodology
    The fair value of the Company’s investment in preferred stock and common 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. Additionally, the fair value of the Company's unsecured notes payable is determined based on quoted price in an active market and is also classified as Level 1.
14


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 March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, according to the fair value hierarchy:

(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 March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, unpaid servicing fees were $0.2 million and were included in accrued expenses on the statements of assets and liabilities. Staring on December 23, 2020, the Company pays the servicing fees to brokers directly.

(1)Incentive fees on capital gains are based on 20% of accumulated net realized and unrealized capital gains of $0.2 million and $0.8 million as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, 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
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.
19


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 was entitled to receive a servicing fee at an annual rate of 1.125% of the most recently published NAV per share of the Company’s common stock, of which up to 0.75% is reallowed to selected dealers, in exchange for providing certain administrative support services. With respect to each share sold, excluding shares sold through the DRIP, the servicing fee is payable annually on the anniversary of the applicable month of purchase. 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.
On December 23, 2020, Terra Capital Markets assigned to us certain of its administration support services and certain obligations under the Dealer Manager Agreement, including making future payments of the previously reallowed servicing fee under the Servicing Plan directly to selected dealers, effectively reducing the servicing fee to 0.75%.
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 March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. 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).
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.

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. 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 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.

Note 5. Commitments and Contingencies
Impact of COVID-19
The full extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the global economy generally, and the Company’s business in particular, will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence. As of March 31, 2021, no contingencies have been recorded on the Company’s balance sheet as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, however as the pandemic continues, 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 the COVID-19 pandemic.
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 both March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had $1.1 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 following table reconciles net increase in net assets resulting from operations to taxable income:

Note 7. Directors’ Fees
The Company’s directors who do not serve in an executive officer capacity for the Company or Terra Income Advisors are entitled to receive annual cash retainer fees, fees for attending board and committee meetings and annual fees for serving as a committee chairperson. These directors receive an annual fee of $20,000, plus $2,500 for each board meeting attended in person, $1,000 for each board meeting attended via teleconference and $1,000 for each committee meeting attended. In addition, the chairman of the audit committee receives an annual fee of $7,500 and the chairman of each of the nominating and corporate governance and the valuation committees, and any other committee, receives an annual fee of $2,500 for their additional services. For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded $0.03 million and $0.03 million of directors’ fees expense, respectively.
The Company will also reimburse each of the above directors for all reasonable and authorized business expenses in accordance with the Company policies as in effect from time to time, including reimbursement of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with attending each board meeting and each committee meeting not held concurrently with a board meeting.
The Company does not pay compensation to the directors who also serve in an executive officer capacity for the Company or Terra Income Advisors.

Note 8. Capital
The Company’s Offering ended on April 20, 2018, at which time the Company had sold 8,878,606 shares of common stock, including shares purchased by Terra Capital Partners and excluding shares sold through the DRIP, in both an initial private placement and from the Offering, for gross proceeds of $103.6 million. On January 17, 2019, the Company sold 6,276 shares of common stock at a price of $9.56 per share to an officer in a private placement. As of March 31, 2021, the Company had 8,422,203 shares of common stock outstanding.
Share Repurchase Program
    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
23


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, September 30, 2020, December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2021.

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 March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there were no dilutive shares.
The following information sets forth the computation of the weighted average net increase in net assets per share from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020:

(3)The per share data for distributions reflects the actual amount of distributions declared per share during the period.
(4)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.
(5)These ratios are calculated using annualized net investment income and operating expenses.
(6)Excluding the reversal of previously accrued incentive fees on capital gains for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the ratio of operating expenses to average net assets was 9.41% and 7.24%, respectively.

Note 12. Subsequent Events
The management of the Company has evaluated events and transactions through the date the financial statements were issued and has determined that there are no material events other than the one described below that would require adjustment to or disclosure in the Company’s financial statements.
On April 9, 2021, the Company, as borrower, entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Eagle Point Credit Management LLC, as the administrative agent and collateral agent (“Eagle Point”), and certain funds and accounts managed by Eagle Point, as lenders (in such capacity, collectively, the “Lenders”). The Credit Agreement provides for (i) a delayed draw term loan to the Company of $25.0 million (the “Term Loan”) and (ii) additional incremental loans in a minimum amount of $1.0 million and multiples of $0.5 million in excess thereof, which may be approved by a Lender in its sole discretion (“Incremental Loans,” and together with the Term Loan, the “Loans”).
In connection with its entry into the Credit Agreement, the Company also entered into a security agreement (the “Security Agreement”), by and among the Company, as grantor, and Eagle Point, as administrative agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, their affiliates and Eagle Point as the secured parties thereunder. Pursuant to the Security Agreement, the Company pledged
25


substantially all of its now owned and hereafter acquired property as security for the obligations of the Company under the Credit Agreement, subject to certain limitations and restrictions set forth in the Security Agreements.

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. Prior to June 24, 2015, 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 and believe we have operated so as to qualify to be taxed as a REIT under Subchapter M of the Code. Concurrent with the change in tax election, we changed our fiscal year end from September 30 to December 31 to satisfy the REIT requirement.
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 are also responsible for future payments of the servicing fee to selected dealers under the servicing plan as a result of the assignment by Terra Capital Markets, LLC (“Terra Capital Markets”) to us of certain administrative functions and other obligations under the second amended and restated dealer manager agreement dated September 30, 2017 between us and Terra Capital Markets (the “Dealer Manager Agreement”) and related selected dealer agreements. See “— Related Party Transactions — Compensation of Terra Income Advisors and Terra Capital Markets” below.
On April 1, 2021, Mavik Capital Management, LP (“Mavik”), an entity controlled by Vikram S. Uppal, our Chief Executive Officer, completed a series of related transactions that resulted in all of the outstanding interests in Terra Capital Partners being acquired by Mavik for a combination of cash and interests in Mavik (the “Recapitalization”).
Prior to the Recapitalization, Terra Capital Partners was the immediate parent of Terra Income Advisors, and was ultimately controlled by Axar Real Estate Capital Group LLC (“Axar RE Manager”). In connection with the Recapitalization, Axar RE Manager assumed direct control of Terra Income Advisors by becoming its manager. Thus, the same parties that controlled Terra Income Advisors prior to the consummation of the Recapitalization have maintained control of Terra Income Advisors, and by the terms of the Recapitalization will continue to do so unless a new investment advisory and administrative services agreement between us and Terra Income Advisors is approved by our stockholders.
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 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 and (ii) preferred equity real estate investments in U.S. companies qualifying as “eligible portfolio companies” under the 1940 Act. We may also purchase
28


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.
The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has had, and is expected to continue to have, a significant impact on local, national and global economies and has resulted in a world-wide economic slowdown. While certain economies have exhibited growth of late when compared to earlier months of 2020, the amount of economic recovery will continue to be impacted by reductions and restrictions in economic activity resulting from increased COVID-19 cases. We continue to closely monitor the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on all aspects of our investments and operations. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic may impact our investments and operations going forward will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence. These developments include the duration of the outbreak, the impact of the global vaccination effort, any new strains of the virus that are resistant to available vaccines, the impact of government stimulus, new information that may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19, and actions taken by federal, state and local agencies as well as the general public to contain COVID-19 or treat its impact, among others.
We believe, however, 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 because 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 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;
independent directors’ fees and expenses, including travel expenses;
29


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, 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 our 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. Our 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, our Board considers whether any single third-party service provider would be capable of providing all such services at comparable cost and quality. Finally, our 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.

Many companies, and in particular those in the hospitality and office sectors, have been, and are expected to continue to be, negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Our portfolio is concentrated in a limited number of industries and borrowers, and, as a result, a downturn in any particular industry or borrower in which we are heavily invested may significantly impact the aggregate returns we realize. If an industry in which we are heavily invested suffers from adverse business or economic conditions (as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic or otherwise), a material portion of our investment could be affected adversely, which, in turn, could adversely affect our financial position and results of operations. For example, as of March 31, 2021, our investments secured by hospitality and office properties represented approximately 22.6% and 24.6%, respectively, of our net assets. In addition, as of March 31, 2021, we held only seven investments and our largest loan investment represented approximately 24.6% of our net assets and our top three loan investments represented approximately 58.4% of our net assets.
Portfolio Investment Activity
For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, we invested $0.9 million and $4.1 million in add-on loans, and $10.0 million and $3.1 million in marketable securities, respectively. Additionally, for the three months ended March 31, 2021, we had $4.0 million of loan repayments. There were no loan repayments for the three months ended March 31, 2020.
In February 2021, we issued $38.4 million in aggregate principal amount of 7.00% fixed-rate notes due 2026, for net proceeds of $37.2 million after deducting underwriting commissions of $1.2 million.

Senior Unsecured Notes
In February 2021, we issued $38.4 million in aggregate principal amount of 7.00% fixed-rate notes due 2026, for net proceeds of $37.2 million after deducting underwriting commissions of $1.2 million. Interest on the notes is paid quarterly in arrears every March 30, June 30, September 30 and December 30, at a rate of 7.00% per year, beginning June 30, 2021. The notes mature on March 31, 2026. The notes may be redeemed in whole or in part at any time or from time to time at the our option on or after February 10, 2023.
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 both March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, obligations under participation agreements at fair value was $4.3 million, and the weighted average interest rate on the obligations under participation agreements was 13.0%. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, we did not transfer any investments to affiliates through participation agreements and did not
32


make any repayments on obligations under participation agreements. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, we transferred $0.9 million of investments to affiliates through participation agreements and did not make any repayments on obligations under participation agreements.

For the three months ended March 31, 2021 as compared to the same period in 2020, interest income was substantially the same. The slight increase in contractual interest income was substantially offset by the slight decrease in interest income from our cash balances.
Dividend and Other Income
For the three months ended March 31, 2021 as compared to the same period in 2020, dividend and other income increased by $0.2 million as a result of dividend income earned on the marketable securities we invested in.
Operating Expenses
The composition of our operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 were as follows:

33


    For the three months ended March 31, 2021 as compared to the same period in 2020, total operating expenses increased by $0.6 million. 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 months ended March 31, 2021 as compared to the same period in 2020, base management fees increased by $0.1 million, due to an increase in our gross assets.
Incentive Fees (Reversal of 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 months ended March 31, 2021, we accrued $37,222 of incentive fees on capital gains, primarily related to an increase in unrealized appreciation on our marketable securities.
For the three months ended March 31, 2020, we reversed the previously accrued incentive fees on capital gains of $155,521, because we had a decrease in unrealized appreciation on investments for the period. 
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 months ended March 31, 2021 as compared to the same period in 2020, operating expense reimbursement to Adviser increased by $42.9 thousand, primarily due to an increase 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 paid 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, of which up to 0.75% is reallowed to selected dealers, in exchange for providing stockholder-related administrative support services. With respect to each share sold, excluding shares sold through our distribution reinvestment plan, the servicing fee is payable annually on the anniversary of the applicable month of purchase. On December 23, 2020, Terra Capital Markets assigned certain of its administration support services and certain obligations under the Dealer Manager Agreement to us, including making future payments of the previously reallowed servicing fee under the Servicing Plan directly to selected dealers, effectively reducing the servicing fee to 0.75%.
    For the three months ended March 31, 2021 as compared to the same period in 2020, servicing fees decreased by $0.1 million, as a result of a reduction in the servicing fee rate as well as a decrease in our NAV.
Interest Expense on Unsecured Notes Payable
In February 2021, we issued $38.4 million in aggregate principal amount of 7.00% fixed-rate notes due 2026.
For the three months ended March 31, 2021, interest expense on unsecured notes payable was $0.4 million. There was no such interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2020.
Professional Fees
For the three months ended March 31, 2021 as compared to the same period in 2020, professional fees decreased by $0.1 million, primarily due to a decrease in the cost of compliance.
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
34


associated premium or discount and origination or exit fee are amortized down or accreted up to par value as each investment approaches maturity.
2021 — For the three months ended March 31, 2021, we recorded an increase in net change in unrealized appreciation on investments of $0.2 million, primarily due to an increase in the trading price of the marketable securities that we invested in.
2020 — For the three months ended March 31, 2020, we recognized an increase in unrealized depreciation on investments of $1.1 million, respectively, 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.
Net Increase (Decrease) in Net Assets Resulting from Operations
For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, we recorded a net increase in net assets resulting from operations of $0.7 million and a net decrease in net assets resulting from operations of $0.1 million, respectively. Based on the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding, our per share net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations was $0.09 and $(0.01), 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 of securities 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. In February 2021, we issued $38.4 million in aggregate principal amount of 7.00% fixed-rate notes due 2026, for net proceeds of $37.2 million after deducting underwriting commissions of $1.2 million. In April 2021, we entered into a credit agreement with a lender to provide for a delayed draw term loan of $25.0 million, (the “Term Loan”). The Term Loan currently bears interest at a rate equal to 5.625% and matures on April 9, 2025.
    We do not have any material commitments for capital resources as of March 31, 2021. 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 Three Months Ended March 31, 2021
    Operating Activities — For the three months ended March 31, 2021, net cash used in operating activities was $5.6 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 three months ended March 31, 2021 were primarily related to purchases of investments of $10.9 million, partially offset by repayments and proceeds from sale of investments of $4.0 million and cash generated from operations of $1.2 million.
    Financing Activities — For the three months ended March 31, 2021, net cash provided by financing activities was $35.7 million, primarily related to proceeds from issuance of unsecured notes, net of discount, of $37.2 million, partially offset by payment of financing costs related to the issuance of unsecured notes of $0.8 million and distributions paid to stockholders of $0.7 million.
Cash Flows for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2020
    Operating Activities — For the three months ended March 31, 2020, net cash used in operating activities was $6.3 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 three months ended March 31, 2020 were primarily related to purchases of investments of $7.1 million, partially offset by cash generated from operations of $0.8 million.
    Financing Activities — For the three months ended March 31, 2020, net cash used in financing activities was $0.4 million, primarily related to distributions paid to stockholders of $1.3 million, partially offset by proceeds from obligations under participation agreements of $0.9 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 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 three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, 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 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
36


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.
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.
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 marketable securities 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.
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 our REIT net taxable income to our stockholders and to meet certain tests regarding the nature of our 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 months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, we did not incur any interest or penalties.

(2)In the normal course of business, we enter into participation agreements with related parties whereby we transfer a portion of the loans to them. These loan participations do not qualify for sale treatment. As such, the loans remain on our

statements of assets and liabilities and the proceeds are recorded as obligations under participation agreements. Similarly, 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 on obligations under participation agreements” in the statements of operations. We have no direct liability to a participant under our participation agreements with respect to the underlying loan, and the participants’ share of the loan is repayable only from the proceeds received from the related borrower/issuer of the loans.
(3)Interest was calculated using the applicable annual variable interest rate and balance outstanding at March 31, 2021. Amount represents interest expense through maturity plus exit fee as applicable.
(4)Certain of our loans provide for commitments to fund the borrower at a future date. As of March 31, 2021, we had one loan with total funding commitments of $7.4 million, of which we funded $6.3 million.
Investment Advisory Agreement and Servicing Plan
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. 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.
    On September 30, 2017, we adopted the Servicing Plan. Pursuant to the Servicing Plan, Terra Capital Markets was entitled to receive a servicing fee at an annual rate of 1.125% of the most recently published NAV per share of our common stock, of which up to 0.75% is reallowed to selected dealers, in exchange for providing certain administrative support services. With respect to each share sold, excluding shares sold through our distribution reinvestment plan, the servicing fee is payable annually on the anniversary of the applicable month of purchase. On December 23, 2020, Terra Capital Markets assigned to us certain of its administration support services and certain obligations under the Dealer Manager Agreement, including making future payments of the previously reallowed servicing fee under the Servicing Plan directly to selected dealers, effectively reducing the servicing fee to 0.75%. The Servicing Plan will remain in effect for so long as such continuance is approved quarterly by our 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, our 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.
The following table presents a summary of such fees and reimbursements in accordance with the terms of the related agreements:

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.
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
38



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 the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, we recorded servicing fees of $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively. As of both March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, unpaid servicing fees were $0.2 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
39



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 March 31, 2021, we had three investments with an aggregate principal balance of $44.8 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 months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, 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.”
