Investment activity.  In February 2014, the Company provided a $80,000, floating rate first mortgage loan ($25,000 of which was funded at closing) for the development of a 50-unit luxury residential condominium in Montgomery County, Maryland. The Company’s loan is funding the first phase of a two-phase development and has a 30-month term with a 6-month extension option. On a fully funded basis, the first mortgage loan represents an underwritten loan-to-net sellout of approximately 68% and has been underwritten to generate a 15% IRR.
Repayments.    In January 2014, the Company received a $15,000 principal repayment from a subordinate loan secured by a pledge of the equity interests in the owner of a New York City hotel. The Company realized a 14% IRR on this subordinate loan.
Repurchase Facilities.    In January 2014, the Company exercised its option to extend the JPMorgan facility for an additional 364 days.
In February 2014, the maturity date of the Wells Facility was extended to March 2015. In addition, the Company reduced the interest rate to LIBOR + 80 basis points from LIBOR + 105 basis points.
Dividends.    On February 26, 2014, the Company’s board of directors declared a dividend of $0.40 per share of common stock which is payable on April 14, 2014 to common stockholders of record on March 31, 2014.
Management Agreement.  Following a meeting by the Company’s independent directors in February 2014, which included a discussion of the Manager’s performance and the level of the management fees thereunder, the Company determined not to terminate the Management Agreement.
