NOTE 22 - SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company's management directs operations on a consolidated basis as a single operating segment, CRE lending operations. The CRE lending operations segment derives its revenues in the United States by originating, holding and managing CRE mortgage loans and related assets. Additionally, the Company may find it is in its best interests to foreclose or to accept the deed-in-lieu of foreclosure on certain loans; and if the Company cannot sell the related property, the Company operates the property as real estate owned. The accounting policies of the CRE lending operations segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies.

The chief operating decision maker ("CODM") is the ACRES management committee that includes the principals of the Manager, including the Company's President & Chief Executive Officer. The CODM uses net income, as reported on the Company's consolidated statements of operations, in evaluating performance for the CRE lending operations segment and determining how to allocate resources. Net income is used to monitor budget versus actual results. The CODM also uses net income in competitive analysis by benchmarking to the Company’s competitors. The Company's net income is primarily derived through the difference between the interest income earned on our loans and the cost at which the Company is able to finance them. Accordingly, interest expense, as reported on the Company's consolidated statements of operations, is the Company's most significant segment expense. The other significant expenses are general and administrative expenses and provision for credit losses. The measure of segment assets is reported on the consolidated balance sheets as total assets.

About Segments Disclosures

Segment disclosures break a company into its reportable operating units, revealing revenue, profit, and asset allocation that consolidated financial statements obscure. Under ASC 280, segments must match how the chief operating decision maker views the business, providing a window into internal management structure and resource allocation priorities.

Key signals: compare segment margins to identify which units drive profitability and which destroy value. Watch for changes in the number of reportable segments — segment aggregation or disaggregation often coincides with strategic shifts or attempts to obscure declining performance. Intersegment elimination patterns reveal internal pricing practices. The reconciliation between segment totals and consolidated figures exposes corporate overhead allocation and unallocated items. Geographic revenue concentration highlights regulatory and currency exposure. Compare segment-level capital expenditure against segment revenue to assess where management is investing for future growth versus harvesting existing assets.
