Segment ReportingWe manage our business on a consolidated basis and therefore have one reportable segment: originating and investing in floating rate first mortgage loans secured by CRE properties. The Chief Operating Decision Maker, or CODM, is our President and Chief Investment Officer. The CODM assesses performance, allocates resources and makes strategic decisions based on net income as shown in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. Our significant expense categories are included in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. The accounting policies of our reportable segment are the same as the ones described in Note 2. The measure of segment assets is reported as total assets in our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

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.
