Note 1 – Organization and Business Operations

InPoint Commercial Real Estate Income, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Maryland on September 13, 2016 to originate, acquire and manage a diversified portfolio of commercial real estate (“CRE”) investments primarily comprised of (i) CRE debt, including first mortgage loans, subordinate mortgage and mezzanine loans, and participations in such loans and (ii) CRE securities, such as commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”), senior unsecured debt of publicly traded real estate investment trusts (“REITs”), and collateralized debt obligation notes. The Company may also invest in select equity investments in single-tenant, net leased properties. Substantially all of the Company’s business is conducted through InPoint REIT Operating Partnership, LP (the “OP”), a Delaware limited partnership. The Company is the sole general partner and directly or indirectly holds all of the limited partner interests in the OP.

The Company is externally managed by Inland InPoint Advisor, LLC (the “Advisor”), a Delaware limited liability company formed in August 2016 that is a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Inland Real Estate Investment Corporation, a member of The Inland Real Estate Group of Companies, Inc. The Advisor is responsible for coordinating the management of the day-to-day operations and originating, acquiring and managing the Company’s CRE investment portfolio, subject to the supervision of the Company’s board of directors. The Advisor performs its duties and responsibilities as the Company’s fiduciary pursuant to an advisory agreement dated October 25, 2016 between the Company and the Advisor (the “Advisory Agreement”).

The Advisor has delegated certain of its duties to SPCRE InPoint Advisors, LLC (the “Sub-Advisor”), a Delaware limited liability company formed in September 2016 that is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sound Point CRE Management, LP, pursuant to a sub-advisory agreement between the Advisor and the Sub-Advisor. Among other duties, the Sub-Advisor has the authority to identify, negotiate, acquire and originate the Company’s investments and provide portfolio management, disposition, property management and leasing services to the Company. Notwithstanding such delegation to the Sub-Advisor or affiliates of the Sub-Advisor or Advisor, the Advisor retains ultimate responsibility for the performance of all the matters entrusted to it under the Advisory Agreement, including those duties which the Advisor has not delegated to the Sub-Advisor such as (i) valuation of the Company’s assets and calculation of the Company’s net asset value; (ii) management of the Company’s day-to-day operations, including the hiring and supervising of its employees, if any; (iii) preparation of stockholder reports and communications and arrangement of the Company’s annual stockholder meeting; and (iv) advising the Company regarding its initial qualification as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes and monitoring its ongoing compliance with the REIT qualification requirements thereafter.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Accounting

The accompanying consolidated financial statements and related footnotes have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reported periods. Actual results could differ from such estimates.

Principles of Consolidation

The Company consolidates all entities that the Company controls through either majority ownership or voting rights. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the OP. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In determining whether the Company has a controlling financial interest in a joint venture and the requirement to consolidate the accounts of that entity, management considers factors such as ownership interest, authority to make decisions and contractual and substantive participating rights of the other partners or members as well as whether the entity is a variable interest entity (“VIE”) for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. The Company has determined the OP is a VIE of which the Company is the primary beneficiary. Substantially all of the Company’s assets and liabilities are held by the OP.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include funds on deposit with financial institutions, including demand deposits with financial institutions with original maturities of three months or less. The account balance may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance coverage limits and, as a result, there could be a concentration of credit risk related to amounts on deposit in excess of FDIC insurance coverage limits. The Company believes that the risk will not be significant, as the Company does not anticipate the financial institutions’ non-performance.

Real Estate Securities at Fair Value

The Company’s real estate securities are comprised of CMBS and are accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 320, Investments — Debt and Equity Securities (“ASC 320”). The Company has chosen to make a fair value option election pursuant to ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments (“ASC 825”) for its securities and, therefore, its real estate securities are recorded at fair market value on the consolidated balance sheets. The periodic changes in fair market value are recorded in current period earnings on the consolidated statements of operations as a component of net unrealized gain (loss) on investments. These investments generally meet the requirements to be classified as available-for-sale under ASC 320, which requires the securities to be carried at fair value on the balance sheet with changes in fair value recorded to other comprehensive income on the Company’s consolidated statement of changes in stockholders’ equity. Electing the fair value option permits the Company to record changes in fair value of its investments in the consolidated statements of operations which, in management’s view, more appropriately reflects the results of operations for a particular reporting period.

The Company records its transactions in securities on a trade date basis and recognizes realized gains and losses on securities transactions on an identified cost basis.

Interest Income

Interest income on CMBS, which includes accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums on such CMBS, is recognized over the life of the investment using the effective interest method. Management estimates, at the time of purchase, the future expected cash flows and determines the effective interest rate based on these estimated cash flows and the Company’s purchase price. As needed, these estimated cash flows are updated and a revised yield is computed based on the current amortized cost of the investment. In estimating these cash flows, there are a number of assumptions that are subject to uncertainties and contingencies, including the rate and timing of principal payments (prepayments, repurchases, defaults and liquidations), the pass through or coupon rate and interest rate fluctuations. In addition, management must use its judgment to estimate interest payment shortfalls due to delinquencies on the underlying mortgage loans. These uncertainties and contingencies are difficult to predict and are subject to future events that may impact management’s estimates and its interest income.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company estimates fair value using available market information and valuation methodologies it believes to be appropriate for these purposes. The Company defines fair value based on the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or the exit price that would be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 825

(unaudited)

establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value. The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which are described below:

The determination of where an asset or liability falls in the above hierarchy requires judgment and factors specific to the asset or liability. In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company evaluates its hierarchy disclosures each quarter and depending on various factors, it is possible that an asset or liability may be classified differently from quarter to quarter.

Real estate securities are valued utilizing both observable and unobservable market inputs. These factors include projected future cash flows, ratings, subordination levels, vintage, remaining lives, credit issues, recent trades of similar real estate securities and the spreads used in the prior valuation. The Company obtains current market spread information where available and uses this information in evaluating and validating the market price of all real estate securities. Depending upon the significance of the fair value inputs used in determining these fair values, these real estate securities are classified in either Level II or Level III of the fair value hierarchy. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company received third-party quotes on each real estate security used in determining the fair value, all of which have been classified as Level II due to the observable nature of all significant inputs.

Organization and Offering Expenses

On October 25, 2016, the Company commenced an ongoing private offering (the “Offering”) of up to $500,000,000 in Class P Shares of common stock (the “Class P Shares”), pursuant to a private placement memorandum dated October 25, 2016. The purchase price per Class P Share is equal to $25.00 (the “Transaction Price”) plus applicable selling commissions, dealer manager fees and organization and offering expenses, resulting in a total purchase price of $27.38 per Class P Share if maximum selling commissions, dealer manager fees and organization and offering expenses are paid. Inland Securities Corporation (the “Dealer Manager”), an affiliate of the Advisor, is the dealer manager for the Offering.

Organization and offering expenses include all expenses incurred in connection with the Offering. Organization and offering expenses (other than selling commissions and the dealer manager fee) of the Company may be paid by the Advisor, Sub-Advisor, the Dealer Manager, or their respective affiliates on behalf of the Company and subsequently reimbursed by the Company. Offering expenses are deferred and a payable to the Advisor or Sub-Advisor until shares are sold in the Offering, at which point the expense reimbursement is paid from additional paid-in capital. These expenses include but are not limited to: (i) reimbursing the Dealer Manager and participating broker-dealers for bona fide out-of-pocket, itemized and detailed due diligence expenses incurred by these entities, (ii) expenses for printing, engraving and mailing, charges of transfer agents, registrars, trustees, escrow holders, depositaries and experts, and (iii) expenses of qualifying the sale of the shares under federal and state laws, including taxes and fees and accountants’ and attorneys’ fees and expenses.

The Company is obligated to reimburse the Advisor, the Sub-Advisor and their respective affiliates, as applicable, for organization and offering expenses paid by them on behalf of the Company to the extent organization and offering expenses (excluding selling commissions and the dealer manager fee) incurred by the Company in the Offering do not exceed the organization and offering expenses paid by investors in connection with the sale of Class P Shares in the Offering. As a result, these expenses are only a liability of the Company to the extent aggregate organization and offering expenses do not exceed the organization and offering expenses paid by investors in connection with the sale of Class P Shares in the Offering, determined at the end of the Offering.

Repurchase Agreements – Real Estate Securities

The Company enters into Master Repurchase Agreements (each, an “MRA”) that allow the Company to sell real estate securities while providing a fixed repurchase price for the same real estate securities in the future. The repurchase contracts on each security under an MRA generally mature in 30 to 90 days and terms are adjusted for current market rates as necessary. Repurchase agreements are being accounted for as secured borrowings since the Company maintains effective control of the financed assets. Under the MRAs, the respective lender retains the right to mark the underlying collateral to fair value. A reduction in the value of pledged assets would require the Company to provide additional collateral or fund margin calls. The Company intends to maintain a level of liquidity that will enable the Company to meet margin calls. In addition, the MRAs are generally subject to certain financial covenants. The Company was in compliance with all financial covenant requirements as of June 30, 2017.

Income Taxes

The Company intends to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, for federal income tax purposes commencing with the tax year ending December 31, 2017. If the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to federal income tax to the extent it distributes its REIT taxable income, subject to certain adjustments, to its stockholders. Subsequently, if the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, the Company will be subject to federal income tax on its taxable income at regular corporate tax rates. Even if the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT, the Company may be subject to certain state and local taxes on its income, property or net worth and federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed income.

The Company had no uncertain tax positions as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. The Company expects no significant increases or decreases in uncertain tax positions due to changes in tax positions within one year of June 30, 2017 or December 31, 2016. The Company had no interest or penalties relating to income taxes recognized in the consolidated statements of operations for the three and six-months ended June 30, 2017 or 2016. As of June 30, 2017, returns for the calendar year 2016 remain subject to examination by U.S. and various state and local tax jurisdictions.

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences and are attributable to (1) differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and their respective tax bases, and (2) net operating losses. A valuation allowance is established for uncertainties relating to realization of deferred tax assets. As of December 31, 2016, the Company had a deferred tax asset of $10,832, related to organization and start-up costs, which are capitalized for income tax purposes, and a current net operating loss, and an unrealized loss in value of real estate securities. A valuation allowance in the amount of $10,832 was recorded due to current uncertainty of realization.

As of June 30, 2017, the Company has reversed deferred tax assets and the valuation allowance related to its activities. As a REIT, the Company is not expected to pay federal income tax at the REIT level, but instead a dividends paid deduction will generally offset its taxable income. As a result, while the Company will still be permitted to use net operating losses to offset its REIT taxable income, the Company generally does not expect to pay taxes on its REIT taxable income, and therefore does not expect to be able to realize such deferred tax assets.

Distributions Payable

Distributions payable represent distributions declared as of the balance sheet date which are payable to stockholders.

Per Share Data

The Company calculates basic and diluted earnings per share by dividing net income attributable to the Company for the period by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for that period.

The following discussion and analysis relates to the three and six-months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 and as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. You should read the following discussion and analysis along with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in this report. 

Overview

We are a Maryland corporation formed on September 13, 2016 to originate, acquire and manage a diversified portfolio of commercial real estate (“CRE”) investments primarily comprised of (i) CRE debt, including first mortgage loans, subordinate mortgage and mezzanine loans, and participations in such loans and (ii) CRE securities, such as commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”), senior unsecured debt of publicly traded REITs, and collateralized debt obligation notes. We may also invest in select equity investments in single-tenant, net leased properties. Substantially all of our business is conducted through our operating partnership, of which we are the sole general partner.  We are externally managed by Inland InPoint Advisor, LLC, an indirect subsidiary of Inland Real Estate Investment Corporation. Our Advisor has engaged SPCRE InPoint Advisors, LLC, a subsidiary of Sound Point CRE Management, LP, to perform certain services on behalf of the Advisor for us.

13

We intend to operate in a manner that will allow us to qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes commencing with the taxable year ending December 31, 2017. Among other requirements, REITs are required to distribute to stockholders at least 90% of their annual REIT taxable income (computed without regard to the dividends-paid deduction and excluding net capital gain).

On October 25, 2016, we commenced a private offering (the “Offering”) of up to $500,000,000 in our Class P Shares, pursuant to a private placement memorandum dated October 25, 2016. The purchase price per Class P Share currently equals $25.00 (the “Transaction Price”) plus applicable selling commissions, dealer manager fees and organization and offering expenses, resulting in a total purchase price of $27.38 per Class P Share if maximum selling commissions, dealer manager fees and organization and offering expenses are paid. Inland Securities Corporation (our “Dealer Manager”), an affiliate of our Advisor, is our dealer manager for the Offering. As of August 9, 2017, we had received and accepted investors’ subscriptions for and issued 892,674 Class P Shares in the Offering, resulting in gross proceeds of $23,578,295. As of August 9, 2017, $476,421,705 of Class P Shares remained to be sold in the Offering.

Significant Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates

A summary of our significant accounting policies is set forth in Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to our consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Portfolio

We began operations in October 2016 and our objective is to originate, acquire and manage an investment portfolio of CRE debt and CRE securities that is diversified based on the type and location of collateral securing the underlying CRE debt and CRE securities.  We anticipate our investment portfolio will be less diversified and have higher concentrations in asset class, collateral type and geographic location until our capital raise reaches levels that will allow for the diversification.

As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, our portfolio consisted of two and one investments in CMBS, respectively. Our CMBS investments had a fair value of $10,583,860 and $5,433,480 as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The increase in the size of our portfolio is due to investing capital received from the Offering and increased leverage arising from a Master Repurchase Agreement (the “MRA”).

As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, our CMBS investments had a weighted average coupon of 6.9% and 5.4% and a remaining life of 1.2 and 1.9 years, respectively.  As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, assets comprising 52% and 100% respectively of our portfolio based on fair value had a rating by a national rating agency of Ba3.  Our credit process evaluates the underlying quality of the loans securing the CMBS at the time of purchase and we continually review the credit performance while we own the CMBS. Ratings by national rating agencies are subject to change and may not be continuously updated, and therefore we do not place reliance on these ratings.

Results of Operations

Comparison of the Three Months Ended June 30, 2017 to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2016

We began operations in October 2016 and had no operations for the three month period ended June 30, 2016.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Funds from Operations and Modified Funds from Operations

We use Funds from Operations (“FFO”), a widely accepted metric to evaluate our performance. FFO provides a supplemental measure to compare our performance and operations to other REITs. Due to certain unique operating characteristics of real estate companies, the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) has promulgated a standard known as FFO, which it believes more accurately reflects the operating performance of a REIT. As defined by NAREIT, FFO means net income computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of operating property, plus depreciation and amortization and after adjustments for unconsolidated entities. In addition, NAREIT has further clarified the FFO definition to add-back impairment write-downs of depreciable real estate or of investments in unconsolidated entities that are driven by measurable decreases in the fair value of depreciable real estate and to exclude the earnings impacts of cumulative effects of accounting changes. We have adopted the NAREIT definition for computing FFO.

Under GAAP, acquisition related costs are treated as operating expenses reducing our income. Publicly registered, non-listed REITs typically engage in a significant amount of acquisition activity in the early years of their operations, and thus incur significant acquisition related costs during these initial years. Although other start up entities may engage in significant acquisition activity during their initial years, REITs such as us that are not listed on an exchange are unique in that they typically have a limited timeframe during which they acquire a significant number of investments and thus incur significant acquisition related costs. Due to the above factors and other unique features of publicly registered, non-listed REITs, the Investment Program Association (“IPA)”, an industry trade group, published a standardized measure known as Modified Funds from Operations (“MFFO”), which the IPA has promulgated as a supplemental measure for publicly registered non-listed REITs and which may be another appropriate supplemental measure to reflect the operating performance of a non-listed REIT.

The IPA defines MFFO as FFO adjusted for acquisition fees and expenses, amounts relating to straight line rents and amortization of premiums on debt investments, non-recurring impairments of real estate-related investments, mark-to-market adjustments included in net income, non-recurring gains or losses included in net income from the extinguishment or sale of debt, hedges, foreign exchange, derivatives or securities holdings where trading of such holdings is not a fundamental attribute of the business plan, unrealized gains or losses resulting from consolidation from, or deconsolidation to, equity accounting, and after adjustments for consolidated and unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.

We define MFFO in accordance with the concepts established by the IPA and adjust FFO for certain items, such as amortization of premium and discounts on real estate securities. We purchase real estate securities at a premium or discount to par value, and in accordance with GAAP, record the amortization of premium/accretion of the discount to interest income. We believe that excluding the amortization of premiums and discounts provides better insight to the expected contractual cash flows.  In addition, we adjust FFO for unrealized gains or losses on real estate securities. Any mark-to-market or fair value adjustments are based on general market or overall industry conditions and may be temporary in nature.

Because MFFO may be a recognized measure of operating performance within the non-listed REIT industry, MFFO and the adjustments used to calculate it may be useful in order to evaluate our performance against other non-listed REITs. Like FFO, MFFO is not equivalent to our net income or loss as determined under GAAP, as detailed in the table below, and MFFO may not be a useful measure of the impact of long-term operating performance on value if we continue to acquire a significant amount of investments.

Our presentation of FFO and MFFO may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures presented by other REITs. We believe that the use of FFO and MFFO provides a more complete understanding of our operating performance to stockholders and to management, and when compared year over year, reflects the impact on our operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, general and administrative expenses, and interest costs. Neither FFO nor MFFO is intended to be an alternative to “net income” or to “cash flows from operating activities” as determined by GAAP as a measure of our capacity to pay distributions. Management uses FFO and MFFO to compare our operating performance to that of other REITs and to assess our operating performance.

17

Neither the SEC, any other regulatory body nor NAREIT has passed judgment on the acceptability of the adjustments that we use to calculate FFO or MFFO. In the future, the SEC, another regulatory body or NAREIT may decide to standardize the allowable adjustments across the non-listed REIT industry and we would have to adjust our calculation and characterization of FFO or MFFO.

Our FFO and MFFO for the six-months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 are calculated as follows:

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity is a measurement of our ability to meet potential cash requirements, including ongoing commitments to pay dividends to our stockholders, fund investments, originate loans, repay borrowings, and other general business needs including the payment of our operating and administrative expenses. Our primary sources of funds for liquidity consist of the net proceeds from the Offering, net cash provided by operating activities, proceeds from repurchase agreements and other financing arrangements and future issuances of equity and/or debt securities.

We currently believe that we have sufficient liquidity and capital resources available for all anticipated uses, including the acquisition of additional investments, required debt service and the payment of distributions to stockholders.

Cash Flow Analysis

We held cash and cash equivalents of $10,917,497 and $0 as of June 30, 2017 and 2016 respectively. Our cash and cash equivalents increased due to normal fluctuations and were primarily related to the net proceeds from the Offering and from the net proceeds from our repurchase agreements that were not used to purchase investments.

Our operating activities used net cash of $43,758 and $0 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.  We began operations in October 2016 and as such had no cash flows from operating activities for the six-month period ended June 30, 2016.

Our investing activities used $5,125,000 and $0 for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, for the purchase of real estate securities.

Our financing activities provided net cash of $15,574,401 and $0 for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The primary contributions came from $6,370,000 in net proceeds from our repurchase agreement financing and $9,501,863 in net proceeds from the issuance of our common stock.    

Repurchase Agreements – Real Estate Securities

We enter into MRAs that allow us to sell real estate securities while providing a fixed repurchase price for the same real estate securities in the future. The repurchase agreements on each security under an MRA generally mature in 30 to 90 days, and terms are adjusted for current market rates as necessary. Repurchase agreements are being accounted for as secured borrowings since we maintain effective control of the financed assets. Under the MRAs, the respective lender retains the right to mark the underlying

18

collateral to fair value. A reduction in the value of pledged assets would require us to provide additional collateral or fund margin calls. We intend to maintain a level of liquidity that will enable us to meet margin calls. In addition, the MRAs are subject to certain financial covenants. We were in compliance with these covenants as of June 30, 2017. We had not entered into any MRAs as of December 31, 2016 and, as such, had no financial covenant requirements.

As of June 30, 2017, we had entered into one MRA and had two outstanding repurchase agreements, as described in the following table:

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Credit Risk

Our investments are subject to a high degree of credit risk. Credit risk is the exposure to loss from loan defaults. Default rates are subject to a wide variety of factors, including, but not limited to, borrower financial condition, property performance, property management, supply/demand factors, construction trends, consumer behavior, regional economics, interest rates, the strength of the U.S. economy, and other factors beyond our control. All loans are subject to a certain probability of default. We manage credit risk through the underwriting process, acquiring our investments at the appropriate discount to face value, if any, and establishing loss assumptions. We also carefully monitor the performance of the loans, as well as external factors that may affect their value.

Interest Rate Risk

Our market risk arises primarily from interest rate risk relating to interest rate fluctuations. Many factors including governmental monetary and tax policies, domestic and international economic and political considerations and other factors that are beyond our control contribute to interest rate risk. To meet our short and long-term liquidity requirements, we may borrow funds at fixed and variable rates. Our interest rate risk management objectives are to limit the impact of interest rate changes in earnings and cash flows and to lower our overall borrowing costs. To achieve these objectives, from time to time, we may enter into interest rate hedge contracts such as swaps, collars and treasury lock agreements in order to mitigate our interest rate risk with respect to various debt instruments. 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. During the six-month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, we did not engage in interest rate hedging activities. We do not hold or issue derivative contracts for trading or speculative purposes. We do not have any foreign denominated investments, and thus, we are not exposed to foreign currency fluctuations.

As of June 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016, our investment portfolio included two and one variable rate investments, respectively, based on LIBOR for various terms. Borrowings under our MRA were short-term and at a variable rate. The following table quantifies the potential changes in interest income net of interest expense should interest rates increase by 50 or 100 basis points or decrease by 25 basis points, assuming that our current balance sheet was to remain constant and no actions were taken to alter our existing interest rate sensitivity:
