IMH FINANCIAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2013

NOTE 1- BUSINESS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND LIQUIDITY
Business
IMH Financial Corporation (the “Company”) is a real estate investor and finance company based in the southwest United States with over a decade of experience in various and diverse facets of the real estate lending and investment process, including origination, acquisition, underwriting, documentation, servicing, construction, enforcement, development, marketing, and disposition. The Company's focus is to invest in, manage and dispose of commercial real estate mortgage investments, and to perform all functions reasonably related thereto, including developing, managing and either holding for investment or disposing of real property acquired through foreclosure or other means. The Company also seeks to capitalize on opportunities to invest in selected real estate platforms under the direction of seasoned professionals in those areas. The Company was formed as a result of a series of transactions that were executed on June 18, 2010 that are referred to as the Conversion Transactions, which included (i) the conversion of our predecessor entity, IMH Secured Loan Fund (the “Fund”), from a Delaware limited liability company into a newly-formed Delaware corporation named IMH Financial Corporation, and (ii) internalization of the Fund manager, Investor's Mortgage Holdings, Inc. (the “Manager”), through an acquisition by the Company of all of the outstanding shares of the Manager, and all of the outstanding membership interests of IMH Holdings, LLC.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited, condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for a complete set of financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods presented have been made. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2013. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of IMH Financial Corporation and the following wholly-owned operating subsidiaries: Investor's Mortgage Holdings, Inc., an Arizona corporation, Investors Mortgage Holdings California, Inc., a California corporation, IMH Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Holdings”), and various other wholly owned subsidiaries established in connection with the acquisition of real estate either through foreclosure or purchase.  Holdings is a holding company for two wholly-owned subsidiaries: IMH Management Services, LLC, an Arizona limited liability company, and SWI Management, LLC, an Arizona limited liability company. IMH Management Services, LLC provides us and our affiliates with human resources and administrative services, including the supply of employees, and SWI Management, LLC, or “SWIM”, acts as the manager for the Strategic Wealth & Income Company, LLC, or the SWI Fund. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Liquidity
As of September 30, 2013, our accumulated deficit aggregated $608.4 million primarily as a result of previous provisions for credit losses recorded relating to the decrease in the fair value of the collateral securing our loan portfolio and impairment charges relating to the value of real estate owned assets acquired primarily through foreclosure, as well as on-going net operating losses in recent periods resulting from the lack of income-producing assets. Due primarily to the erosion of the U.S. and global real estate and credit markets in recent years, we experienced significant loan defaults and foreclosures on our mortgage loans. As a result, we have spent the better part of that period enforcing our loan documents and working to repossess the collateral properties underlying those loans and pursuing recovery from guarantors under such loans.
Our liquidity plan has included obtaining additional financing, selling whole loans or participating interests in loans and selling certain real estate assets. As described in Note 7, in June 2011, we entered into and closed funding of a $50.0 million senior secured convertible loan with NWRA Ventures I, LLC (“NW Capital”). This loan has been our primary source for working capital and funding of our general business needs. In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we secured an additional $10.0 million in financing secured by certain REO assets.

As of September 30, 2013, our entire loan portfolio with an aggregate carrying value of $12.5 million is held for sale. In addition, as of September 30, 2013, real estate owned (“REO”) projects with a carrying value totaling $51.8 million were being actively marketed for sale. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we sold certain REO assets and collected other recoveries generating approximately $6.5 million in cash, net of the amounts financed by us. We also received $8.6 million in mortgage loan paydowns during the nine months ended September 30, 2013.
In connection with the $50.0 million loan with NW Capital in June 2011, we entered into a cash management agreement with NW Capital under which the amount of discretionary funds available to us is limited to the following 90 days of budgeted operating cash, which is funded on a monthly basis, subject to NW Capital approval and release. The balance of all remaining cash (including the balance of loan proceeds and any and all proceeds received from revenues, loan payments, asset sales or other cash generating events) is collected and maintained in a trust account as collateral under the loan for the benefit of NW Capital (the Collateral Account). At September 30, 2013, we had cash and cash equivalents of $1.7 million and restricted cash of $4.7 million.
While we have been successful in securing $60.0 million in financing to provide adequate funding for working capital purposes and have generated liquidity through asset sales and mortgage receivable collections, there is no assurance that we will be successful in selling our remaining real estate assets in a timely manner or in obtaining additional financing, if needed, to sufficiently fund future operations or to implement our investment strategy. Further, each sale and other financing transaction requires the approval of NW Capital.  Our failure to generate sustainable earning assets, and successfully liquidate a sufficient number of our loans and real estate assets, including receiving approval from our lender of such liquidations, may have a further material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial position.

September 30, 2013


NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Our significant accounting policies are disclosed in our previously filed Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, there were no material changes in our significant accounting policies, except as described below.
Reclassifications
Certain 2012 amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2013 financial statement presentation. During the period ended September 30, 2013, the Company completed a conversion to a new accounting system which provides more detailed reporting and greater visibility for the Company and its various subsidiaries. As a result of this conversion, we identified various changes in the classifications of certain previously reported income statement amounts and segment information. While these changes had no material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements as a whole, there were some significant reclassifications which are described as follows:
During the period ended September 30, 2012 and prior, we had not segregated income derived from our Hospitality and Entertainment operations due to the immateriality of such balances in relation to overall revenue. Such amounts were included in Investment and Other Income in those periods. We began classifying such amounts separately in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. As such, we have reclassified Hospitality and Entertainment Income amounts for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations to conform to our current presentation.
We have created a line item entitled Operating Property Expenses (exclusive of Taxes, Interest and Depreciation) and reclassified appropriate amounts primarily from Other Operating Expenses for Real Estate Owned to capture those expenses directly attributable to operating properties, thereby segregating incidental costs of ownership of non-operating REO properties.
During the year ended December 31, 2012 and prior, we reported various costs related to Default and Enforcement Related Expenses as a separate line item. Due to the nature of such costs and the overlapping relationship between these and other professional fees, we elected to reclassify the applicable components of Default and Enforcement Related Expenses between Professional Fees and General and Administrative Expenses in our 2013 presentation. As such, we have reclassified such amounts for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations to conform to our current presentation.
The effect of these reclassifications is presented in the table below.
Restatement of Previously Issued Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows
Restricted Cash
During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company identified a misstatement with respect to the manner in which it presented cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash in its consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2011 and September 30, 2012. As previously reported, in connection with the $50.0 million loan with NW Capital secured in June 2011, we entered into a cash management agreement with the lender under which the amount of discretionary funds available to us is limited to the following 90 days of budgeted operating cash, which is funded on a monthly basis, subject to NWR approval and release. The balance of all remaining cash (including the balance of loan proceeds and any and all proceeds received from revenues, loan payments, asset sales or other cash generating events) is collected and maintained in a trust account as collateral under the loan for the benefit of NW Capital (the Collateral Account). While the funds are not restricted for a specified purpose and are expected to be used to fund on-going operations, capital purchases and investments, the availability of such funds is restricted as to withdrawal and subject to NW approval and control. Accordingly, we are required to separately disclose on the face of the consolidated balance sheets the amount of cash in the Collateral Account as restricted cash. Specifically, we recorded an adjustment to reclassify

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – continued

$1.6 million and $20.2 million from cash to restricted cash as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.
Interest on Property Taxes
During the period ended September 30, 2012 and prior, interest expense on delinquent property taxes was reported as a component of Property Taxes for Real Estate Owned rather than as a component of Interest Expense. We corrected this misstatement and began properly classifying such amounts as a component of Interest Expense in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. As such, we have restated such amounts for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations to conform to our current presentation.
Segment Information
As a result of the accounting system conversion described above, we identified various certain misstatements in the classifications of certain previously reported segment information. For balance sheet items, the adjustments related to non-real estate assets and operating liabilities not previously allocated within the proper business segments. We have adjusted our segment disclosure as of December 31, 2012 to reflect the proper amounts in each segment. For income statement items, the adjustments primarily related to certain professional fees which were reflected Mortgage and REO - Legacy Portfolio and Other Operations, but should have been reflected in Corporate and Other business segment.
Assessment of Restatements
These corrections had no impact on consolidated stockholders’ equity as of December 31, 2011 or September 30, 2012 or on revenue, expenses, net loss or basic and diluted loss per share for the periods then ended. The Company has assessed these misstatements in financial statement presentation and has determined that, on both a qualitative and quantitative basis, the adjustments are immaterial, both individually and in the aggregate, to the consolidated financial statements, and thus the Company did not and will not amend any of its prior quarterly and annual reports on Form 10-Q and 10-K, and it has adjusted its presentation on a prospective basis. In order to provide consistency in the Company's financial reporting, the September 30, 2012 condensed consolidated statement of cash flows presented herein has been restated to appropriately reflect the corrections described above. In addition, the segment information presented in Note 10 three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 has been restated to reflect the classification of expenses in the proper segments. The following table summarizes the effect of these corrections and reclassifications on the previously filed condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, which was restated for comparative purposes only (in thousands):

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – continued

Derivative Financial Instruments
Our derivative investment receivable reflects the estimated fair value of an exit fee receivable by us in connection with a preferred equity investment transaction in a joint venture completed during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, as described in note 5. This derivative does not qualify as a hedge. Accordingly, we recognize future gains and losses on this derivative investment receivable for accounting purposes in investment and other income in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. Under the terms of the joint venture agreement, the exit fee receivable is to be equal to the greater of 4% of our original investment or 1.5% of the fair market value of the portfolio assets of the joint venture at the two year preferred equity redemption date. The initial fair value of the derivative exit fee receivable was derived by taking the present value using an annual discount rate of approximately 12% of the estimated exit fee which was determined by applying capitalization rates ranging from 5.0% to 7.2% to the forecasted stabilized net operating income of each of the operating properties of the joint venture. As of September 30, 2013 we applied a similar methodology to estimate the fair market value of the portfolio assets and recorded no gain or loss for the period ended September 30, 2013.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Certain accounting policies involve judgments and uncertainties to such an extent that there is reasonable likelihood that materially different amounts could have been reported under different conditions, or if different assumptions had been used. The Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions on a regular basis. The Company uses historical experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances to form the basis for making judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The financial statement areas where significant judgment and estimation are involved include revenue recognition, valuation of loans and REO assets, contingencies, income taxes and stock-based compensation Actual results may materially differ from these estimates and assumptions used in preparation of the consolidated financial statements.
Restricted Cash
At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, restricted cash and cash equivalents totaled $4.7 million and $14.9 million, respectively. Restricted cash includes cash items that are legally or contractually restricted as to usage or withdrawal, which include amounts relating to: a) to the Collateral Account which is required under the terms of NW Capital loan and related agreements, and is subject to NW Capital approval and release. While the funds in the Collateral Account are not restricted for a specified purpose and are expected to be used to fund on-going operations, capital purchases and investments, the availability of such funds is restricted as to withdrawal and subject to NW approval and release; b) as described in Note 7, under the terms of our loan agreement with Canpartners Realty Holding Company IV LLC (Canpartners), we are required to maintain a minimum $5.0 million balance of cash and cash equivalents at all times during the term of the loan, which may include balances in the Collateral Account, as well as other reserve accounts required under the Canpartners' loan agreement; and c) amounts maintained in escrow accounts for contractually specified purposes.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
Changes to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) are established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) in the form of accounting standards updates (ASUs) to the FASB's Accounting Standards Codification.
On January 1, 2013, the Company adopted ASU No. 2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities (ASU 2011-11). The amendments in ASU 2011-11 require the disclosure of information on offsetting and related arrangements for financial instruments to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position. Amendments under ASU 2011-11 will be applied retrospectively for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after January 1, 2013. Adoption of this update did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.
On January 1, 2013, the Company adopted ASU No. 2013-01, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. This update clarifies that the scope of ASU No. 2011-11 applies to derivatives accounted for in accordance with Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, including bifurcated embedded derivatives, repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and securities lending transactions that are either offset in accordance with Section 210-20-45 or Section 815-10-45 or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement. An entity is required to apply the amendments for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. An entity should also provide the required disclosures retrospectively for all comparative periods presented. Adoption of this update did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.
On January 1, 2013, the Company adopted ASU No. 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. This update requires an entity to report the effect of significant reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the respective line items in net income if the amount being reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in its entirety to net income. For other amounts that are not required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income in the same reporting period, an entity is required to cross-reference other disclosures required under U.S. GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. This would be the case when a portion of the amount reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income is reclassified to a balance sheet account instead of directly to income or expense in the same reporting period. Adoption of this update did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-04, Liabilities (Topic 405) - Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation Is Fixed at the Reporting Date. The objective of this update is to provide guidance for the recognition, measurement, and disclosure of obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation within the scope of this guidance is fixed at the reporting date. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. Adoption of this update is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In June 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-08, Financial Services - Investment Companies: Amendments to the Scope, Measurement, and Disclosure Requirements ("ASU 2013-08"). In general, the amendments of this ASU: (i) revise the definition of an investment company; (ii) require an investment company to measure non-controlling ownership interests in other investment companies at fair value rather than using the equity method of accounting; and (iii) require information to be disclosed concerning the status of the entity and any financial support provided, or contractually required to be provided, by the investment company to its investees. ASU 2013-08 is effective for interim and annual periods that begin after December 15, 2013 and early application is prohibited. As the FASB has decided to retain the current U.S. GAAP scope exception from investment company accounting and financial reporting for real estate investment trusts, the adoption of this ASU will not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – continued

In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-10, Inclusion of the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate (or Overnight Index Swap Rate) as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force) (“ASU 2013-10”). The amendments of this ASU apply to all entities that elect to apply hedge accounting of the benchmark interest rate under Derivatives and Hedging (FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 815). ASU 2013-10 permits the Federal Funds Effective Rate (also referred to as the Overnight Index Swap Rate, or OIS) to be used as a U.S. benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes in addition to the interest rates on direct Treasury obligations of the U.S. government and London Interbank Offered Rate. ASU 2013-10 was effective prospectively for qualifying new or redesignated hedging relationships entered into on or after July 17, 2013. Adoption of ASU 2103-10 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists. This update applies to all entities that have unrecognized tax benefits when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists at the reporting date. An unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, except as follows. To the extent a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position or the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. The assessment of whether a deferred tax asset is available is based on the unrecognized tax benefit and deferred tax asset that exist at the reporting date and should be made presuming disallowance of the tax position at the reporting date. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied prospectively to all unrecognized tax benefits that exist at the effective date. Retrospective application is permitted.

NOTE 3 – MORTGAGE INVESTMENTS, LOAN PARTICIPATIONS AND LOAN SALES
Lien Priority
Except in limited circumstances, our mortgage loans are collateralized by first deeds of trust (mortgages) on real property and generally include a personal guarantee by the principals of the borrower and, often times, the loans are secured by additional collateral. As of September 30, 2013, there were no third-party loans that were superior to our lien position on our existing loan portfolio. As of December 31, 2012, there was an outstanding third-party loan totaling $17.7 million and a capital lease obligation of approximately $3.1 million secured by a portion of our collateral that was superior to our lien position on one of our loans with an outstanding principal and accrued interest balance of $51.9 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we took title to the underlying assets through a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure and assumed the related third-party loan and capital lease obligation, which totaled approximately $24.7 million and $1.3 million, respectively, as of the date of acquisition.
Lending Activities
Given the non-performing status of the majority of the loan portfolio, there has been limited loan activity during the nine months ended September 30, 2013. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we originated one loan in the amount of $1.1 million relating to the financing of a portion of the sale of certain REO assets.  At September 30, 2013, the average principal and interest balance for our seven loans was $4.4 million, as compared to $13.9 million for our nine loans at December 31, 2012.

As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the valuation allowance represented 58.9% and 41.3%, respectively, of the total outstanding loan principal and interest balances. We did not sell any loans during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2013.

From time to time, we may extend a mortgage loan's maturity date in the normal course of business. Accordingly, repayment dates of the loans may vary from their currently scheduled maturity date. If the maturity date of a loan is not extended, we classify and report the loan as matured. Given the non-performing status of the majority of the loan portfolio, the sustained depression of real estate values and lack of available takeout financing, we do not expect the payoffs to materialize for our legacy loans, particularly for loans past their respective maturity date. We may find it necessary to foreclose, modify, extend, make protective advances or sell such loans in order to protect our collateral, maximize our return or generate additional liquidity. We modified one loan during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, in which the borrower exercised its option to extend the maturity date by one year for a fee. There was no forgiveness or principal or outstanding interest, or change in interest rate.
 
Loans in Default
We continue to experience loan defaults as a result of depressed real estate market conditions and lack of takeout financing in the marketplace. A summary and roll-forward of activity of loans in default from December 31, 2012 through September 30, 2013 follows (dollars in thousands):

Five of the seven of the loans that were in default at December 31, 2012 remained in default status as of September 30, 2013. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we took title to the assets with a carrying value of $60.1 million relating to two loans that were in default as December 31, 2012 via a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure.
We are currently exercising enforcement action which we believe could lead to foreclosure upon four of the five loans in default at September 30, 2013. We are continuing to work with the borrower with respect to the remaining one loan in default in order to seek to maintain the entitlements on the related project and, thus, the value of our existing collateral. While we expect to complete the foreclosure process on the majority of such loans over the next six to nine months,

the timing of foreclosure on these loans is dependent on several factors, including applicable states statutes, potential bankruptcy filings by the borrowers, our ability to negotiate a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure and other factors.
At September 30, 2013, all loans in default were also in non-accrual status. In addition, as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, interest receivable recorded on such loans prior to being placed in non-accrual status totaled $0.4 million for each period, respectively, and is included in mortgage loans held for sale on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet.
No interest income was recognized on non-accrual loans on a cash or accrual basis during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 or 2012. In addition, borrower concentrations, geographic concentrations of our loan portfolio, related loan classifications and end-user categories have not materially changed since December 31, 2012, except as a result of foreclosures.
NOTE 4 – OPERATING PROPERTIES AND REAL ESTATE HELD FOR DEVELOPMENT OR SALE
Operating properties and REO assets consist primarily of properties acquired as a result of foreclosure or purchase and are reported at the lower of cost or fair value, less estimated costs to sell the property. Under GAAP, the foreclosure of a loan and the recording of REO assets are deemed to be a conversion of a monetary asset to a long-lived asset. Further, such assets are valued at fair value at the foreclosure date and this fair value becomes the new basis for financial reporting purposes. REO assets are reported as either held for development or held for sale, depending on whether we plan to develop such assets prior to selling them or sell them immediately.
At September 30, 2013, we held total operating properties and REO assets of $203.7 million, of which $47.8 million were held for development, $51.8 million were held for sale, and $104.2 million were held as operating properties.

Amount represents the step-up in basis to the estimated fair value of the assets received as of the date of acquisition based on appraisals received for such assets. The stepped up basis reflects the approximate balances of certain liabilities assumed upon foreclosure including a mortgage note payable of approximately $24.7 million, a capital lease obligation of approximately $1.3 million, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $3.4 million at the date of acquisition. The appraised values of such assets were equal to or in excess of the new assets recorded.

NOTE 4 – OPERATING PROPERTIES AND REAL ESTATE HELD FOR DEVELOPMENT OR SALE- (continued)

Operating properties includes depreciable building and improvements, furniture, fixtures and equipment, and tenant improvements with balances totaling $60.2 million, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization of $6.7 million.

On May 14, 2013, the Company, through various subsidiaries, completed the acquisition of certain assets and assumption of certain related liabilities (the “Sedona Assets”), pursuant to an agreement dated March 28, 2013, as amended and restated (the “Sedona Agreement”), with one of the Company's borrowers and certain subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively, the “Borrowers”) in full satisfaction of certain mortgage loans held by the Company with a net carrying value of approximately $60.2 million as of December 31, 2012, and for the purpose of releasing the Borrowers from further liability under the loans and guarantees, subject to certain post-closing conditions and limitations. The primary Sedona Assets include the following:
certain real property, including all improvements thereon, including two operating hotels located in Sedona, Arizona, subject to a pre-existing primary first mortgage lien and capital lease obligation, which totaled approximately $24.7 million and $1.3 million, respectively, as of May 14, 2013 (date of acquisition);
various leasehold and other interests in multiple leases relating primarily to the operations of the hotels; and
a 28-lot residential subdivision located in Sedona, Arizona.

In connection with the recording of the deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, we recorded the assets and liabilities on a gross basis at their estimated fair values based on appraisals received for such assets, but not in excess of our net basis in the loans. This included property, plant and equipment with a carrying value of approximately $91.4 million, as well as a mortgage note payable of approximately $24.7 million, a capital lease obligation of approximately $1.3 million, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $3.4 million. The appraised values of such assets were equal to or in excess of the new assets recorded.
Of the assets acquired in the transaction, the operating hotels are classified as operating properties in our hospitality and entertainment segment, while the 28-lot residential subdivision is classified as real estate held for development.
The Sedona Assets contributed approximately $7.9 million to hospitality and entertainment revenue and $0.1 million to pre-tax net loss (inclusive of $1.2 million of project-specific interest expense) for the period from May 14, 2013 (the date of acquisition) through September 30, 2013. During the three months ended September 30, 2013, the Sedona Assets contributed approximately $4.9 million to hospitality and entertainment revenue and $0.2 million to pre-tax net loss. The following table presents estimated unaudited pro forma information during the three months ended September 30, 2012 and the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, including debt service amounts for long-term debt and capital leases other than interest attributable to loans payable to us, as if the acquisitions had been consummated on January 1, 2012.

In addition, during the three months ended September 30, 2013, we acquired a single-family Scottsdale residence in connection with a guarantor settlement with an estimated fair value of approximately $0.3 million.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we sold six REO assets (or portions thereof) for $7.6 million (net of selling costs), of which we financed $1.1 million, for a net gain on sale of approximately $1.0 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we sold seven REO assets for $17.0 million (net of selling costs), of which we financed $5.5 million, for a gain of $0.6 million. All REO asset sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 qualified for full accrual recognition. All REO asset sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 qualified for full accrual recognition except for one asset sale. Because the buyer did not provide the minimum required initial investment for the one 2012 sale, full gain recognition was not allowed under GAAP so we applied the installment

method of accounting for this transaction. This resulted in recognized gain of $0.1 million and a deferred gain of $0.2 million as of September 30, 2012.
The nature and extent of future capitalized costs for REO held for development depends on the level of development undertaken, the number of additional foreclosures and other factors. While our assets are generally available for sale, we continue to evaluate various alternatives for the ultimate disposition of these investments, including partial or complete development of the properties prior to sale or disposal of the properties on an as-is basis. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we reclassified three REO assets from held for development status to held for sale based on our present intention to dispose of such assets within one year and current active marketing efforts. There were no material changes with respect to REO classifications or planned development during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2013 other than as a result of REO asset sales and foreclosures. As discussed in more detail in note 7, we strategically defaulted on the terms of a note payable obligation totaling $5.2 million, which is secured by certain assets classified as real estate held for development totaling approximately $4.8 million as of September 30, 2013. In addition, we strategically defaulted on the terms of a CFD obligation totaling $3.7 million, which is secured by certain assets classified as real estate held for sale totaling approximately $4.9 million as of September 30, 2013. These defaults could result in cross-acceleration of the maturity of such debt or foreclosure on the related assets.


NOTE 5 – PREFERRED EQUITY INVESTMENT AND DERIVATIVE INVESTMENT RECEIVABLE
Preferred Equity Investment
During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we entered into a limited liability agreement to form a joint venture with unrelated parties for the purpose of acquiring a multi-family portfolio comprised of 14 apartment communities across six states, which is being managed by a third party, national firm, specializing in multi-family assets. Under the terms of the joint venture agreement, we contributed $15 million through one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries that holds the status of a preferred member. Another of our wholly-owned subsidiaries contributed no capital, but serves as a limited guarantor member on the senior indebtedness of the joint venture that is secured by the acquired operating properties. No other capital contributions are required by us. A non-IMHFC member will serve as the managing member of the joint venture. Our preferred member interest is secured by the other non-IMHFC members’ interest in each of the single member LLC’s that hold title to real property owned by each respective LLC.
Under the terms of the joint venture agreement, the joint venture is required to redeem our preferred membership interest for the redemption price (as defined in the joint venture agreement) on or before the second anniversary of the closing date, or the redemption date may be extended at the joint venture’s option for one additional year for a fee to the Company of $0.3 million. We are also entitled to a 15% annualized return on our $15 million preferred equity investment, and we are further entitled t o an exit fee equal to the greater of 4% of our original investment or 1.5% of the fair market value of the portfolio assets of the joint venture at the two year preferred equity redemption date, as described further below.
Additionally, we are entitled to retain a 15% carried interest in the profits of the entire investment portfolio, after payment of the preferred returns to us and similar preferred returns of non-IMHFC members. In addition, we are entitled to effectively receive all available cash flow of the joint venture until we receive the entirety of our preferred equity investment and any accrued and unpaid preferred return amounts. The non-IMHFC members are obligated to fund any shortfalls in our preferred return.

Accounting for Preferred Equity Investment
As a result of the passive nature of this investment by us, the mandatory redemption feature of the investment, the defined preferred return, and other repayment and security features of the investment, the investment is being accounted for as a debt security investment held to maturity, whereby we are recording the 15% annual preferred return over the term of the investment period using the effective interest method. Similarly, the deferred origination fees, net of direct costs are being amortized over the term of the investment using the effective interest method as an adjustment to yield.

In addition, as described above, we are further entitled to an exit fee equal to the greater of 4% of our original investment or 1.5% of the fair market value of the portfolio assets of the joint venture at the two year preferred equity redemption date. At the date of execution of the agreement, we estimated that the fair market value of the underlying assets to be approximately $190 million at the redemption date. We then discounted the computed exit fee using a discount rate

of 12%. Accordingly, we recorded the exit fee as a derivative investment receivable in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2013 in the amount of $2.25 million. The offsetting amount was treated as a discount on the investment which is being amortized as an adjustment to investment income over the term of the investment using the effective interest method.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 we recognized approximately $0.8 million and $2.0 million, respectively, in investment income from this investment.

Derivative Investment Receivable
As described above, we recorded a derivative asset resulting from this transaction in the amount of $2.25 million at the origination date based on the estimated gross fair value as of the derivative investment. As of September 30, 2013, we applied a similar methodology to estimate the fair market value of the portfolio assets and recorded no gain or loss on the fair value of the derivative investment. This is our only derivative investment and we do not anticipate the volume of our derivative investments to be significant.
As described in note 12, subsequent to September 30, 2013, we sold our preferred equity position in the joint venture to an unrelated party for $19.0 million which exceeded the collective carrying value of our preferred equity investment and derivative investment receivable. No gain on the sale was recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

NOTE 6 – FAIR VALUE
Valuation Allowance and Fair Value Measurement of Loans and Real Estate Held for Sale
Our valuation analysis processes and procedures are disclosed in our previously filed Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012.  We perform a valuation analysis of our loans, REO held for sale and derivative investments not less frequently than on a quarterly basis. We complete an analysis of our loans as a whole to assess our exposure for loans made in various reporting periods and in terms of geographic diversity. We consider all relevant circumstances to determine if, and the extent to which, a valuation allowance is required.

Impairment for our collateral dependent loans is measured at the balance sheet date based on the then fair value of the collateral in relation to contractual amounts due under the terms of the applicable loan if foreclosure is probable. Substantially all of our loans are deemed to be collateral dependent.
Similarly, REO assets that are classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair value, less cost to sell. REO assets that are classified as operating properties or as held for development are considered “held and used” and are evaluated for impairment when circumstances indicate that the carrying amount exceeds the sum of the undiscounted net cash flows expected to result from the operation or development and eventual disposition of the asset.  If an asset is considered impaired, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between the asset's carrying amount and its fair value. If we elect to change the disposition strategy for our real estate held for development, and such assets were deemed to be held for sale, we would likely record additional impairment charges, and the amounts could be significant. See our consolidated audited financial statements in our previously filed Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 for a detailed description of the summary of the procedures performed and assumptions utilized in connection with our impairment analysis of real estate owned assets as of and for the year ended December 31, 2012.

We periodically engage independent third-party valuation firms and other consultants to assist with our analysis of fair value of the collateral supporting our loans and REO. In the absence of updated third party valuations, we review and update valuation assumptions and perform other in-house analysis using available market participant data to determine fair value at the reporting date.
During the period ended September 30, 2013, we performed both a macro analysis of market trends and economic estimates, as well as a detailed analysis on selected significant loan and REO assets. As described more fully below, market confidence appears to continue to improve in numerous markets in which our assets are located as evidenced by some improvement in sales activity and pricing. Based on various market sources reviewed, while economic activity continued to expand at a moderate pace, the unemployment rate has remained elevated during the third quarter. After hitting the highest level in nearly four years, existing-home sales declined in September as home price and higher mortgage interest rates curbed consumer buying power. In addition, concerns over the government shutdown also played a role in economic progress. Nevertheless, limited inventory conditions and low interest rates continued to pressure home prices in much of the country.

During the third quarter, the Federal Reserve continued to monitor economic and financial developments in regards to its monetary policy and concluded that it will maintain its current asset purchase policies until there is more evidence that progress will be sustained before making any adjustments to such policies. The Federal Reserve believes that its actions should maintain downward pressure on longer-term interest rates, support mortgage markets, and help to make broader financial conditions more accommodative, which in turn should promote a stronger economic recovery and help to ensure that inflation, over time to foster maximum employment and price stability. As such, we expect housing demand and real estate in general to continue to improve slightly over the short-term, but do not expect that it will likely improve substantially until the general economy strengthens, the housing market shows a longer trend of ongoing recovery, and a clear fiscal policy is defined by the administration.

NOTE 6 – FAIR VALUE – (continued)


The following is a summary of the procedures performed in connection with our fair value analysis of loans and REO assets as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2013:

1.
We reviewed the status of each of our loans to ascertain the likelihood that we will collect all amounts due under the terms of the loans at maturity based on current real estate and credit market conditions.

2.
We reviewed the status and disposition strategy of each of our REO assets to determine whether such assets continue to be properly classified as held for sale, held for development or as operating properties as of the reporting date.

3.
We reviewed the underlying real estate and market participant data used in estimating the fair value of our derivative investment. Since the derivative investment is based on the underlying value of real estate assets of the joint venture comprised of multifamily residential housing as described in note 5, we considered the related current occupancy rates, lease up assumptions, income and expense assumptions and capitalization rate assumptions for such assets.

4.
For the period ended September 30, 2013, except as noted in step 5 below, given the lack of significant change in overall general market conditions since December 31, 2012, we performed an analysis to determine whether there were any indications of a material increase or decrease in the value of the underlying collateral of loans and REO assets since the completion of our detail analysis completed during the year ended December 31, 2012. This analysis included a review and update of current market participant activity, overall market conditions, our direct knowledge of local market activity affecting the project, as well as other market indicators obtained through our asset management group and various third parties. Our asset-specific analysis focused on the higher valued assets of our total loan collateral and REO portfolio. We considered the results of our analysis and the potential valuation implication to the balance of the portfolio based on similar asset types and geographic location.
5.
In connection with the acquisition of certain assets via deed-in-lieu of foreclosure that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2013 (as disclosed in note 4), we ordered updated valuation reports from independent third-party valuation firms for the three portions of significant collateral acquired in the foreclosure, specifically for the hotel operations acquired and the 28-lot residential subdivision located in Sedona, Arizona. This resulted in a reduction of the related reserves by $6.7 million of which $2.4 million was recognized during the quarter ended March 31, 2013 and $4.3 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2013.
6.
In addition, for projects for which we have received a bona fide written third-party offer to buy our loan or REO asset, or the borrower has received a bona fide written third-party offer to buy the related project, we generally utilized the offer amount in cases where we have had earnest negotiations to sell such assets at the price point utilized (whether or not the offer was above or below the low end of the valuation range provided). Such offers are only considered if we deem the offer to be valid, reasonable and negotiable, and we believe the offeror has the financial wherewithal to execute the transaction.

Based on our analysis, generally the valuation approach taken and assumptions utilized with respect to each asset at December 31, 2012 remained applicable at September 30, 2013, except for those assets subject to a recent bona fide written third-party offer to buy our loan or REO asset, and for those assets subject to recent third-party valuation which reflected improved operations and market conditions in hospitality related assumptions, and improved pricing and absorption assumptions for the residential real estate portion resulting in increased values. See our previously filed Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 for a summary of the key assumptions and valuation methodologies utilized to derive fair value.

NOTE 6 – FAIR VALUE – (continued)

September 30, 2013 Selection of Single Best Estimate of Value
As previously described, we have historically obtained periodic valuation reports from third-party valuation specialists, consultants and/or from our internal asset management departments for the underlying collateral of our loans and REO held for sale. The results of our valuation efforts generally provide a range of values for the collateral valued rather than a single point estimate because of variances in the potential value indicated from the available sources of market participant information. The selection of a value from within a range of values depends upon general overall market conditions as well as specific market conditions for each property valued and its stage of entitlement or development. In addition to third-party valuation reports, we utilize recently received bona fide purchase offers from independent third-party market participants that may be outside of the range of values indicated by the third-party specialist report. In selecting the single best estimate of value, we consider the information in the valuation reports, credible purchase offers received, as well as multiple observable and unobservable inputs.
Valuation Conclusions
Based on the results of our evaluation and analysis, we recorded a non-cash recovery of credit losses on our loan portfolio in the amount of $0 and $7.0 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. The recovery amount relates specifically to the improved value for the hotel operations and residential lots acquired through foreclosure as previously described. The improved value was reflective of improved operating results and improved market conditions for the hospitality sector and the pricing and absorption assumptions for the residential lots as it pertains to the related assets. In addition, we recorded other recoveries of credit losses of $0.7 million and $1.5 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, relating to cash and other asset collections from certain guarantors on prior loans. Also, as described in note 5, we recorded no gain or loss resulting from the fair value analysis of our derivative investment.

As of September 30, 2013, the loan valuation allowance totaled $18.0 million, representing approximately 58.9% of the total outstanding loan principal and interest balances. As of December 31, 2012, the allowance for credit loss totaled $51.6 million, representing 41.3% of the total outstanding loan portfolio principal and interest balances. With the existing valuation allowance recorded as of September 30, 2013, we believe that, as of that date, the fair value of the underlying collateral of our loans is adequate in relation to the net carrying value of loan principal and accrued interest and that no additional valuation allowance is considered necessary.
While the above results reflect management’s assessment of the fair value of our real estate assets as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 based on currently available data, we will continue to evaluate our loans and real estate assets in the remaining quarter of 2013 and beyond to determine the adequacy and appropriateness of the valuation allowance. Depending on market conditions, such updates may yield materially different values and potentially increase or decrease the valuation allowance for loans or impairment charges for REO assets.
Valuation Categories
Generally, all of our mortgage loans, REO held for sale and derivative investment are valued using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) obtained through management review and analysis or third party appraisals, except for such assets for which third party offers were used, which are considered Level 2 inputs. Changes in the use of Level 3 valuations are based solely on whether we utilized third party offers for valuation purposes. Our mortgage loans, REO held for sale and derivative investment are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis based upon the lowest level of significant input to the valuation although no net losses were recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 or 2012. There were no other assets that were measured at fair value using Level 1 or Level 2 inputs for which any losses were recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 or 2012.

Convertible Notes Payable/Exit Fee Payable
As more fully described in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, on June 7, 2011, we entered into and closed funding of a $50.0 million senior secured convertible loan with NW Capital. The loan matures on June 6, 2016 and bears contractual interest at a rate of 17% per year.
The lender, at its sole option, may make an annual election to defer a portion of interest due representing 5% of the total accrued interest amount, with the balance 12% payable in cash. The lender made such an election for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2013. Deferred interest is capitalized and added to the outstanding loan balance on a quarterly basis. As of September 30, 2013, deferred interest added to the principal balance of the convertible note totaled $9.6 million, of which $2.2 million was added during the nine months ended September 30, 2013. Interest is payable quarterly in arrears on the first of each January, April, July and October during the term of the loan.
In addition, we are required to pay an exit fee (“Exit Fee”) at maturity equal to 15% of the then outstanding principal, unpaid accrued and deferred interest and other amounts owed under the loan agreement. The Exit Fee is considered fully earned under the terms of the loan agreement and has been recorded as a liability with an offsetting amount reflected as a discount to the convertible note payable. The Exit Fee and corresponding discount of $10.4 million was estimated assuming the lender elects its annual interest deferral option over the term of the loan. This amount is being amortized to interest expense over the term of the loan using the effective interest method.
As of September 30, 2013, the unamortized discount totaled approximately $6.0 million and the amortized discount added to the principal balance of the convertible note totaled approximately $4.5 million of which $1.5 million was added during the nine months ended September 30, 2013.
Debt issuance costs incurred in connection with the NW Capital closing are being amortized over the term of the loan using the effective interest method. With the contractual interest, and the amortization of the Exit Fee and related deferred financing costs, the effective interest rate under the NW Capital loan is approximately 23%. The loan is severally, but not jointly, guaranteed by substantially all of our existing and future subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions and releases, and is secured by a security interest in substantially all of our assets. The loan may not be prepaid prior to December 7, 2014 and is subject to substantial prepayment fees and premiums in the event of payoff prior to maturity.

NOTE 7 – DEBT, NOTES PAYABLE AND SPECIAL ASSESSMENT OBLIGATIONS- (continued)

The loan agreement also contains certain restrictive covenants which require NW Capital’s consent as a condition to our taking certain actions. The restrictive covenants relate to our ability to sell or encumber our assets, issue additional indebtedness, restructure or modify our ownership structure, settle litigation over $10.5 million, enter into new material agreements and other operational matters.
Conversion Feature
As more fully described in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, the NW Capital loan is convertible into IMH Financial Corporation Series A preferred stock at any time prior to maturity at an initial conversion rate of 104.3 shares of our Series A preferred stock per $1,000 principal amount of the loan, subject to adjustment. Similar to the convertible note, dividends on the Series A preferred stock will accrue from the issue date at the rate of 17% of the issue price per year, compounded quarterly in arrears, a portion of which may, at the election of NW Capital, be payable in additional shares of stock.
If the NW Capital loan is converted into shares of Series A preferred stock, we are obligated to redeem all such preferred stock on the fifth anniversary of the loan date in cash, at a price equal to 115% of the original purchase price, plus all accrued and unpaid dividends (whether or not earned or declared), if any, to and including the date fixed for redemption, without interest. In addition, the Series A preferred stock has certain redemption features in the event of default or the occurrence of certain other events.
Other Notes Payable Activity
As described in note 4, during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we assumed a note payable in the amount of $24.7 million from a bank in connection with a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure that closed on May 14, 2013, that is secured by one of the hotel operating properties with a gross asset basis of approximately $83.1 million at September 30, 2013. The note payable bears annual interest of 12%, with required monthly payments of principal and interest and the outstanding principal due at maturity. The note matures on March 28, 2014. We obtained approval from NW Capital in connection with this financing.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we secured financing of $10 million from Canpartners that is secured by certain REO assets with a carrying value of $24.3 million at September 30, 2013. The note payable bears annual interest of 12%, with required monthly payments of interest and the outstanding principal due at maturity. The note matures in February 2014 and may be extended for two additional six month terms. Under the terms of the loan, we are required to maintain a minimum $5.0 million balance of cash and cash equivalents. A portion of the proceeds was used to repay an existing note payable of $0.9 million. We obtained approval from NW Capital in connection with this financing.
In connection with our proposed development to construct a multifamily housing development in Apple Valley, Minnesota, during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we entered into, among other agreements, a business subsidy agreement and related loan agreement dated March 29, 2013 with the Apple Valley Economic Development Authority (EDA). Under the terms of the business subsidy agreement, the EDA has agreed to advance to us up to $1.1 million in the form of a loan. The amount of the loan shall not exceed the amount received from Dakota County for the statutory penalty and interest on special assessment taxes, which were assessed in the tax years 2007 through 2011, for which we have recorded a liability. If we complete the development project as intended no later than December 31, 2015, and certain other conditions are satisfied, and no event of default occurs, the EDA shall forgive the loan in its entirety. The loan bears interest at the rate of 6.0% per annum and shall accrue until the loan is satisfied or paid in full. If we do not meet the specified goals, the loan and all accrued unpaid interest must be repaid on or before December 31, 2016. In addition, under the agreement, we are not allowed to sell, transfer or otherwise convey all or part of the property for a period of five years following completion without the prior written consent of EDA. As of September 30, 2013, the total amount advanced to us under the loan agreement was $0.2 million.

NOTE 7 – DEBT, NOTES PAYABLE AND SPECIAL ASSESSMENT OBLIGATIONS- (continued)

Under the terms of a previous settlement agreement, we executed two noninterest bearing promissory notes totaling $5.3 million secured by certain REO assets with a carrying value of $4.8 million at September 30, 2013. The notes matured on December 31, 2012. Due to the non-interest bearing nature of the loans, in accordance with applicable accounting guidance, we imputed interest on the notes at our incremental borrowing rate of 12% per annum and recorded the notes net of the discount. The discount was amortized to interest expense over the term of the notes. At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the net principal balance of the notes payable was $5.2 million. During the year ended December 31, 2012, we defaulted for strategic reasons on the terms of an agreement related to the loan, which resulted in an acceleration of the maturity date of such debt. The note bears interest at the default rate of 10% per annum. During the nine months ended September 30, 2103, we incurred default interest expense of $0.4 million and have outstanding accrued interest totaling $0.9 million as of September 30, 2013. The lender filed a notice of delinquency and a notice of trustee sale was scheduled for June 12, 2012. The subsidiary that owns these assets was placed into bankruptcy which stayed the trustee sale. In addition, since this strategic default and bankruptcy constituted an event of default under the NW Capital loan, management obtained a waiver from NW Capital regarding this action. During the period ended September 30, 2013, the bankruptcy court rejected our proposed plan of reorganization and lifted the stay on the trustee sale. However, we sought and obtained leave to appeal with the district court which stayed the bankruptcy court's order. As a result, the lender is presently stayed from conducting its trustee sale until the district court decides the appeal, the timing of which is undeterminable at this time. The related REO asset is currently stated at its net realizable value. Should the creditor take title to the REO asset as a result of the lift of the stay of the trustee sale, the carrying value of the REO will be charged to operations and the debt obligation will be credited to operations to the extent it is legally defeased by such action.
During the year ended December 31, 2012, we entered into a note payable with a bank in the amount of $0.9 million in connection with the acquisition of certain land situated adjacent to another property owned by us. The note payable is secured by the land purchased, bears interest at the annual rate of 4% and was to mature in September 2015. We obtained approval from NW Capital for this new indebtedness. The note required interest only payments through September 2013, with principal and interest payments commencing in October 2013 through maturity. The note payable was repaid using proceeds from the $10.0 million financing secured during the nine months ended September 30, 2013.
CFD and Special Assessment Obligations
We have recorded certain obligations assumed for the allocated share of CFD special revenue bonds and special assessments totaling approximately $5.7 million as of September 30, 2013 secured by certain real estate acquired through foreclosure in prior years. These obligations are described below.
One of the CFD obligations had an outstanding balance of approximately $3.7 million as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 and has an amortization period that extends through April 30, 2030, with annual interest rates ranging from 5% to 6%. The CFD obligation is secured by certain real estate held for sale consisting of 171 acres of unentitled land located in Buckeye, Arizona which has a carrying value of approximately $4.9 million at September 30, 2013. As disclosed in our report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, we have defaulted for strategic reasons on the obligation payment due and the taxing authority has since filed a notice of potential sale of the related real estate. Such real estate assets are owned by a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, which was placed into bankruptcy. Management has engaged the appropriate advisors and is currently working towards a resolution of this issue. In addition, since this strategic default and bankruptcy constituted an event of default under the NW Capital loan, management obtained a waiver from NW Capital regarding this action. In accordance with the proposed sale of the project, the the bankruptcy case was dismissed and the lender provided a forbearance on the debt default until December 2013, at which time a payment of approximately $0.8 million is required to bring the debt balance current.
The other obligations are comprised of a series of special assessments that collectively had an outstanding balance of approximately $2.0 million and $2.3 million as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. The CFD obligations have amortization periods that extend through 2022, with annual interest rates ranging from 6% to 7.5%. The CFD obligations are secured by certain real estate held for development consisting of 15 acres of unentitled land located in Dakota County, Minnesota which has a carrying value of approximately $5.7 million at September 30, 2013. Such real estate assets are owned by a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. During the nine months ended

NOTE 7 – DEBT, NOTES PAYABLE AND SPECIAL ASSESSMENT OBLIGATIONS- (continued)

September 30, 2013, we made a principal repayment totaling $0.3 million in connection with the sale of certain lots to the municipality.
The responsibility for the repayment of these CFD and special assessment obligations rests with the owner of the property and, accordingly, will transfer to the buyer of the related real estate upon sale. Accordingly, management does not anticipate that these obligations will be paid in their entirety by the Company. Nevertheless, these CFD obligations are deemed to be obligations of the Company in accordance with GAAP because they are fixed in amount and for a fixed period of time.

NOTE 8 – CAPITAL LEASE OBLIGATIONS
In connection with our acquisition of the hotel operating properties via deed-lieu-of-foreclosure (as described in note 4), we assumed certain capital lease obligations related to the hotel operations. The primary capital lease obligation relates to the leasing of a 28-room hotel complex located adjacent to one of the owned hotels. The lease requires monthly lease payments of approximately $9,800 and extends through December 2040, which approximates the estimated useful life of the property. Using an imputed annual rate of 9% (our estimated incremental borrowing rate), we recorded a capital lease obligation of $1.3 million at the date of acquisition. The remaining leases relate to certain equipment which are approximately three years in term and contain bargain purchase options at the end of the lease term.
A summary of minimum lease payments required under these capital leases as of September 30, 2013 follows (in thousands):

NOTE 9 — SHARES, SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION AND EARNINGS PER SHARE
Shares of Common Stock, Class B Common Stock, Class C Common Stock and Class D Common Stock share proportionately in our earnings and losses. There are no shares of the Class D common stock outstanding as of September 30, 2013. There were no changes in the classes of stock or in the number of shares of authorized or outstanding shares during the period ended September 30, 2013.
Share-Based Compensation
As of September 30, 2013, approximately 768,000 stock options were outstanding and there were 432,000 shares available for future grants under our 2010 Stock Option Plan. Approximately 98,000 options vested and none were exercised during the nine months ended September 30, 2013. In addition, approximately 13,000 options were forfeited during the nine months ended September 30, 2013. Net stock-based compensation expense relating to these options was $0.2 million and $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Net stock-based compensation expense relating to these options was $0.4 million and $0.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. We did not receive any cash from option exercises during the three months ended September 30, 2013 or 2012. As of September 30, 2013, there was approximately $0.5 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock option compensation arrangements granted under the 2010 Stock Option Plan that is expected to be recognized as a charge to earnings over a weighted-average period of 0.8 years .
Net Loss Per Share
Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period before giving effect to stock options or convertible securities outstanding, which are considered to be dilutive common stock equivalents.  Diluted net loss per common share is calculated based on the weighted average number of common and potentially dilutive shares outstanding during the period after giving effect to convertible preferred stock and stock options.  
Due to the losses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, basic and diluted loss per common share were the same, as the effect of potentially dilutive securities would have been anti-dilutive. At September 30, 2013, the only potentially dilutive securities, not included in the diluted loss per share calculation, consist of vested stock options and the NW Capital convertible note payable which is convertible into approximately 6,225,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock (subject to increase upon NW Capital’s deferral of accrued interest), which are ultimately convertible into the same number of shares of our common stock.  There were no other potentially dilutive securities at September 30, 2013.

NOTE 11 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES - (continued)

Development Agreements
As more fully discussed in note 15 of our previously filed Form 10-K, during the year ended December 31, 2012, we entered into two development services agreements with a third party developer to manage the development of certain existing real estate. When completed, the projects will consist of a 332-unit multi-family residential housing complex located in Apple Valley, Minnesota and a 600-bed student housing complex in Tempe, Arizona. The terms of each of the development services agreements are very similar in nature. Under each of the agreements, the developer is entitled a predevelopment services fee not to exceed $150,000, a development services fee equal to 3.0% of the total project cost less an agreed-upon land basis, as well a post-development services fee. The post development services fee will consist of a profit participation upon sale of the projects ranging from 7% to 10% of the profit, depending the amount and timing of projects’ completion and sale. During the three months ended September 30, 2013, we paid the third party developer $37.5 thousand of the predevelopment fees due under these arrangements . During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we paid the third party developer $0.14 million of the predevelopment fees due under these arrangements. Such costs have been capitalized into the basis of the property.
In connection with the development of the residential housing complex located in Apple Valley, Minnesota, during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we entered into a development agreement, development assistance agreement, a business subsidy agreement and other related agreements with the City of Apple Valley and related entities. Under these agreements, subject to completion of the projects by December 2015 and other requirements, we expect to receive up to $6.5 million in tax increment financing over an extended period as well as a business subsidy totaling $1.1 million, of which we have received $0.2 million as of September 30, 2013 (as described in note 7). Also in connection with the overall development, we were required to and completed a sale of certain parcels to the City of Apple Valley for $0.8 million for its development of a common area park adjacent to our planned development.
In addition, during the year ended December 31, 2012, we entered into an agreement with a large Arizona homebuilder to purchase from us and develop certain residential lots under an exclusive lot take-down program over a period of five years beginning in 2013. Under the terms of the agreement, the builder agreed to purchase a minimum of 12 lots during the year ending December 31, 2013. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the builder purchased five lots from us in accordance with the agreement for a combined purchase price of $0.2 million, which exceeded the allocated carrying value of such assets. If the builder does not take down the lots within the scheduled timeframe specified in the agreement, the exclusive option to purchase such lots shall become ineffective.
Strategic Actions Taken Relating to REO Assets
In connection with our foreclosure on loans and our related acquisition of the underlying real estate assets collateral, we often inherit the property subject to a variety of liens and encumbrances.  These liens and encumbrances may include liens securing indebtedness senior to our lien, property tax liens, liens securing special assessment or community facilities revenue bonds, liens securing HOA or community recreation club or golf assessments and dues, as well as customary covenants, conditions, restrictions and utility and other easements.  Oftentimes the real estate assets we acquire through foreclosure are in a distressed state and in those cases we actively work to stabilize the asset, resolve disputes among different lienholders and creditors and protect our interest in the asset as we determine the most advantageous strategy for the Company (i.e., sell, develop further or operate).  
As part of this process and with the intention of protecting or enhancing our interest in our commercial loan and REO assets, we may for strategic reasons take actions, or fail to take actions, that result in a default of obligations relating to the property, some of which obligations may have a security or collateral interest in the subject real estate property.  In some cases, we may be directly liable for certain of these obligations. These actions (or inactions) are intended to protect or enhance our interest in the property and in many cases relate to obligations that were incurred prior to our acquisition of the property and often relate to disputes among the various stakeholders, including the Company, about the amount, timing or priority of the obligations and the appropriate resolution of the various stakeholders' claims, which in many cases will result in less than a full recovery for some or all stakeholders given the distressed state of many of our REO properties.  In conjunction with this strategy, as discussed in note 7, we previously placed two of our single asset subsidiaries into bankruptcy to address debt related matters associated with the subsidiaries’ assets which

NOTE 11 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES - (continued)

have carrying values totaling $9.8 million as of September 30, 2013. One of the bankruptcy claims was denied and is under appeal, while the second bankruptcy claim has been dismissed in connection with the proposed sale of the property.
As discussed in note 7, the related debt obligations totaled approximately $8.9 million as of September 30, 2013. In addition, since these actions (or inactions) may constitute events of default under the NW Capital loan, we have obtained and will seek to obtain a waiver in the future from NW Capital, if necessary. The Company believes that it could, if it elected to do so, settle or cure these defaults and we do not believe the losses or costs relating to any such actions pending at September 30, 2013 will result in a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.
Guarantor Recovery
In December 2012, we received a favorable judgment against certain guarantors in connection with their personal guarantees on certain loans on which we have since foreclosed. The amount of the judgment was for a specified principal amount plus accrued default interest at 24% annually computed on such principal amounts from January 5, 2010, which totaled $18.9 million as of June 30, 2013 and $14.8 million as of December 31, 2012. In February 2013, we and the guarantors entered into a stipulation agreement which was converted to a court order. Under the terms of the stipulation, the guarantors consented and agreed to various items including, but not limited to, providing a listing of all related business enterprises in which the guarantors hold an ownership interest for the assignment of such interests to IMH, a cash payment to us of $0.2 million made in March 2013, and a quit claim deed to a residential property located in Hawaii assigned to us, subject to a first lien by a bank and certain other liens.
Due to the uncertainty of the natures and extent of the available assets of the guarantors to pay the judgment amount, we have not recorded recoveries for any amounts due under this judgment, except to the extent we have received assets without contingencies under the judgment and stipulation. In this regard, we recognized $0.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2012 based on the cash payment received in March 2013. Also, during the period ended September 30, 2013, we received and recorded an unencumbered deed to a residential property located in Scottsdale, Arizona with an estimated fair value of $0.3 million. However, we did not record the Hawaii residential property at the time the quit claim deed was provided in February 2013 or since then because under the terms of the stipulation, we agreed to hold and not record the quit claim deed until the expiration of the Negotiation Period, as defined, which ended in June 2013 when the court seal was lifted. Also, while we were granted a quit claim deed on the residential property, we have not recorded the deed to this asset and have not recorded a recovery related to the estimate fair market value of these assets during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 because the quit claim deed was note executed in a proper form and due to the existence of certain questionable liens on the property which make clear title to the property uncertain as of September 30, 2013. The quit claim deed was appropriately modified and recorded subsequent to September 30, 2013, at which time the Hawaii residential property and related liens were recorded at fair value.
We are continuing to undertake the necessary steps to evaluate the extent and amount of available assets of the guarantors to enforce the terms of the stipulation and to collect all amounts due under the judgment. However, such amounts are not determinable as of September 30, 2013 and have not been recognized as recovery income in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations. As such, further recoveries under this and other judgments received in our favor will be recognized when realization of the recovery is deemed probable and when all contingencies relating to recovery have been resolved.
Legal Matters
We may be a party to litigation as the plaintiff or defendant in the ordinary course of business in connection with loans that go into default, or for other reasons. While various asserted and unasserted claims exist, resolution of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty and, we believe, based upon currently available information, that the final outcome of such matters will not have a material adverse effect, if any, on our results of operations or financial condition.
As we have previously reported, various disputes have arisen relating to the consent solicitation/prospectus used in connection with seeking member approval of the Conversion Transactions. Three proposed class action lawsuits were subsequently filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery (on May 26, 2010, June 15, 2010 and June 17, 2010) against us and certain affiliated individuals and entities. The May 26 and June 15, 2010 lawsuits contain similar allegations,

39

NOTE 11 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES - (continued)

claiming, in general, that fiduciary duties owed to Fund members and to the Fund were breached because, among other things, the Conversion Transactions were unfair to Fund members, constituted self-dealing and that the information provided about the Conversion Transactions and related disclosures was false and misleading. The June 17, 2010 lawsuit focuses on whether the Conversion Transactions constitute a “roll up” transaction under the Fund’s operating agreement, and seeks damages for breach of the operating agreement.
The parties in the above-referenced actions were ordered to consolidate the actions for all purposes into a putative class action lawsuit captioned In Re IMH Secured Loan Fund Unitholders Litigation pending in the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware (“Litigation”). A consolidated class action complaint was filed on December 17, 2010. After defendants filed a motion to dismiss that complaint, the Chancery Court ordered plaintiffs to file an amended complaint.
On July 15, 2011, plaintiffs filed a new amended complaint entitled “Amended and Supplemental Consolidated Class Action Complaint” (“ACC”). On January 31, 2012, we reached a tentative settlement in principle to resolve all claims asserted by the plaintiffs in the Litigation, other than the claims of one plaintiff. The tentative settlement in principle, memorialized in a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) previously filed with our 8-K dated February 6, 2012, was subject to certain class certification conditions, confirmatory discovery and final court approval (including a fairness hearing). Following the entry of the MOU, the parties completed the confirmatory discovery and on March 19, 2013, filed a Stipulation and Agreement of Compromise, Settlement and Release (“Stipulation”), along with all of the related agreements, with the Court. The following are some of the key elements of the proposed settlement:
we will offer $20.0 million of 4% five-year subordinated notes to members of the Class in exchange for 2,493,765 shares of IMH common stock at an exchange rate of one share per $8.02 in subordinated notes (“Exchange Offering”); 
we will offer to Class members that are accredited investors $10.0 million of convertible notes with the same financial terms as the convertible notes previously issued to NW Capital (“Rights Offering”);
we will deposit $1.57 million in cash into a settlement escrow account (less $225,000 to be held in a reserve escrow account that is available for use by us to fund our defense costs for other unresolved litigation) which will be distributed (after payment of notice and administration costs and any amounts awarded by the Court for attorneys' fees and expense) to Class members in proportion to the number of our shares held by them as of June 23, 2010;
we will enact certain agreed upon corporate governance enhancements, including the appointment of two independent directors to our board of directors upon satisfaction of certain conditions and the establishment of a five-person investor advisory committee (which may not be dissolved until such time as we have established a seven-member board of directors with at least a majority of independent directors); and
provides additional restrictions on the future sale or redemption of our common stock held by certain of our executive officers.
Three separate objections to the proposed settlement were filed with the Chancery Court. The Chancery Court held a settlement hearing on July 18, 2013 during which it heard, among other things, argument as to the fairness of the settlement and arguments from each objector. Following the settlement hearing, the Chancery Court entered a Final Order and Judgment ("Final Order") which approved the terms of the settlement of the Litigation as outlined in the MOU and Stipulation, with slight modifications. The Company's rights and obligations under the Stipulation and Final Order are contingent the expiration of the period to file appeals of the Final Order or, if any appeal is filed, upon the final resolution of any such appeal ("Final Approval"). The Exchange Offering and the Rights Offering are required to be initiated within 30 days following Final Approval. On July 23 and July 26, 2013, two appeals were timely filed in the Supreme Court of Delaware by two of the Objectors. On October 11, 2013, one of the appeals was voluntarily dismissed. The other appeal remains pending. If the remaining appeal is denied or is voluntarily dismissed, the Final Order will have Final Approval. If the appeal is granted, the case could be returned to the Chancery Court for further proceedings. We have vigorously denied, and continue to vigorously deny, that we have committed any violation of law or engaged in any of the wrongful acts that were alleged in the Litigation, but we believe it is in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders to eliminate the burden and expense of further litigation and to put the claims that were or could have been asserted to rest.  As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we accrued the payment required of $1.57 million, as well as the offsetting related anticipated insurance proceeds, which have been deposited

into settlement escrow accounts. In addition, due to the significance of the anticipated settlement and related costs, we have separately identified such costs in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. Such amounts consist primarily of legal, accounting and other professional fees incurred in connection with the settlement of the Litigation, including costs surrounding the proposed Rights Offering and Exchange Offering.
During the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, we recorded settlement related costs of $0.8 million and $0.8 million, respectively, relating primarily to legal fees incurred in connection with the settlement. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, we recorded settlement related costs of $2.0 million and $1.5 million, respectively. However, we have not included any other adjustments relating to the potential repurchase of stock in exchange for the issuance of convertible notes in the Exchange Offering because the consummation of these repurchases and offerings are subject to a number of conditions, including the receipt of Final Approval, and because of the uncertainty of timing and of the GAAP based “fair value” determination of such securities as of the date of settlement. At the time that these amounts are reasonably estimable, we will record the appropriate amounts resulting from the resolution of this matter. There can be no assurance that the outstanding appeal will not result in further delays in the ultimate settlement of the Litigation.
As previously reported, on December 29, 2010, an action was filed in the Superior Court of Arizona, Maricopa County, by purported Fund members David Kurtz, David L. Kurtz, P.C., Lee Holland, William Kurtz, and Suzanne Sullivan (collectively, the “Kurtz Plaintiffs”) against us and certain affiliated individuals and entities. The Kurtz Plaintiffs made numerous allegations against the defendants in that action, including allegations that fiduciary duties owed to Fund members and to the Fund were breached because the Conversion Transactions were unfair to Fund members, constituted self-dealing, and because information provided about the Conversion Transactions and related disclosures was false and misleading.
In addition, the Kurtz Plaintiffs alleged that the Fund wrongfully rejected the defendants’ books and records requests, defamed David Kurtz, and wrongfully brought a civil action related to the Conversion Transactions. The Kurtz Plaintiffs seek the return of their original investments in the Fund, damages for defamation and invasion of privacy, punitive damages, and their attorneys’ fees and costs.  Defendants filed a motion to stay this lawsuit in favor of the consolidated action pending in Delaware.  As previously reported, the Kurtz case was stayed by the Court, at Defendants’ request, pending the outcome of the Delaware Litigation.  However, because of delays in concluding the Delaware Litigation, the Court in the Kurtz case lifted the stay of that case effective as of February 28, 2013.  At the present time, discovery is underway in the Kurtz case. We dispute the Kurtz Plaintiffs’ allegations and we intend to defend ourselves vigorously against these claims. We have recently entered into negotiations for a potential settlement with the Kurtz Plaintiffs in connection with this case. However, we have not accrued any amounts for this matter as of September 30, 2013 as the timing and amounts of a potential settlement are reasonably estimable as of the date of this filing.
We are subject to oversight by various state and federal regulatory authorities, including, but not limited to, the Arizona Corporation Commission, or ACC, the Arizona Department of Revenue, the Arizona Department of Financial Institutions (Banking), the SEC and the IRS. Our income tax returns have not been examined by taxing authorities and all statutorily open years remain subject to examination.
We believe that we have always been, and currently are in compliance with all regulations that materially affect us and our operations, and that we have acted in accordance with our operating agreement prior to its termination as a result of the Conversion Transactions. However, there can be no guarantee that the above-described or other matters will be resolved favorably, or that we or our affiliates may not incur additional significant legal and other defense costs, damage or settlement payments, regulatory fines, or limitations or prohibitions relating to our or our affiliates’ business activities, any of which could harm our operations.

NOTE 12 – SUBSEQUENT EVENT
Subsequent to September 30, 2013, we sold our preferred equity investment in the joint venture described in Note 5 to an unrelated party for $19.0 million which exceeded the collective carrying value of our preferred equity investment and derivative investment receivable as of the closing date. However, one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries continues to serve as a limited guarantor member on the senior indebtedness of the joint venture that is secured by the acquired operating properties, and we may receive additional remuneration until we are released from the limited guarantee. No gain on the sale was recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and the audited financial statements and accompanying notes as of and for the year ended December 31, 2012 included in our previously filed Annual Report on Form 10-K (“Form 10-K”), and with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Form 10-Q”).

Investors should not place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statement, which speaks only as of the date on which it was made. The factors described within this Form 10-Q could affect the financial performance of IMH Financial Corporation and could cause actual results for future periods to differ materially from any opinions or statements expressed with respect to future periods.
Except to the extent required by law, we undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the events described by our forward-looking statements might not occur. We qualify any and all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary factors. Please keep this cautionary note in mind as you read this Form 10-Q and the documents incorporated by reference into this Form 10-Q.
Overview of the Business
We are a real estate investor and finance company based in the southwest United States with over a decade of experience in various and diverse facets of the real estate lending and investment process, including origination, acquisition, underwriting, documentation, servicing, construction, enforcement, development, marketing, and disposition.

45



The Company's focus is to invest in, manage and dispose of commercial real estate mortgage and related investments, and to perform all functions reasonably related thereto, including developing, managing and either holding for investment or disposing of real property acquired through foreclosure or other means. This focus is being enhanced with the combined resources of the Company and its advisors. The Company also seeks to capitalize on opportunities to invest in selected real estate-related platforms under the direction of seasoned professionals in those areas. The Company also considers opportunities to act as a sponsor, providing investment opportunities as a proprietary source of, and/or co-investor in, real estate mortgages and other real estate-based investment vehicles. Through the purchase and sale of such investments, we expect to earn robust, risk-adjusted returns while being recognized as a nimble, creative and prudent lender/investor. Our strategy is designed to re-establish the Company's access to significant investment capital. By increasing the level and quality of the assets in our portfolio specifically and under management in general, we believe that the Company can grow and ultimately provide its shareholders with favorable risk-adjusted returns on investments and enhanced opportunity for liquidity.
Through our traditional credit analysis coupled with real estate valuation techniques used by developers, we have invested in real estate assets with an original investment basis of approximately $567 million. As a result of valuation allowance and impairment charges, these assets have a current carrying value of $232.2 million as of September 30, 2013, comprised of commercial real estate mortgage loans with a carrying value of $12.5 million, owned property with a carrying value of $203.7 million, and a preferred equity investment with a carrying value of $16.0 million. The decline in the carrying value of our real estate assets is reflective of the deterioration of the commercial real estate lending market and the sustained decline in pricing of residential and commercial real estate together with the severe downturn in the general economy and specifically the real estate markets that occurred in recent years.
Given the scale and composition of the remaining legacy portfolio, management has begun to streamline and re-purpose the organization with a clear direction. The continued resolution and monetization of the legacy asset portfolio continues to be essential to the Company's future success, as the value and liquidity created will be the building blocks for implementing the new strategy. Management continues to undertake significant efforts in this regard, including continued foreclosures, restructurings, development and stabilization activities, and asset dispositions. We are continuing a number of key tactical initiatives with the near-term goal of further reducing expenses and enhancing systems, while seeking to mitigate legacy problems and maximize the value of legacy assets.
We are continuing enforcement action on remaining legacy loans and pursuing liquidation of the underlying collateral or REO or developing such assets. We are also implementing key tactical initiatives with the near-term goal of further reducing expenses and enhancing operational and reporting systems. In addition, we continue to explore the possibility of sponsoring investment vehicles or other ventures with institutional investors in vertical market segments in which there is strong investor interest. The Company may pursue opportunities to develop properties within its legacy portfolio through partnerships, joint ventures or other appropriate structures. There is no assurance, however, that management will be successful in its pursuit of such sponsored vehicles or development partnerships in the near term or at all.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we entered into a limited liability agreement to form a joint venture with unrelated parties for the purpose of acquiring a multi-family portfolio comprised of 14 apartment communities across six states, which is being managed by a third party, national firm, specializing in multi-family assets. Under the terms of the joint venture agreement, we contributed $15 million through one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries that holds the status of a preferred member. Under the terms of the joint venture agreement, the joint venture is required to redeem our preferred membership interest for the redemption price (as defined in the joint venture agreement) on or before the second anniversary of the closing date, or the redemption date may be extended at the joint venture's option for one additional year for a fee to the Company of $0.3 million. We are also entitled to a 15% annualized return on our $15 million preferred equity investment, and we are further entitled to an exit fee equal to the greater of 4% of our original investment or 1.5% of the fair market value of the portfolio assets of the joint venture at the two year preferred equity redemption date. Additionally, we will retain a 15% carried interest in the profits of the entire investment portfolio, after payment of the preferred returns to us and similar preferred returns of non-IMHFC members. In addition, we are entitled to effectively receive all available cash flow of the joint venture until we receive the entirety of our preferred equity investment and any accrued and unpaid preferred return amounts. The non-IMHFC members are obligated to fund any shortfalls in our preferred return. Subsequent to September 30, 2013, we sold our preferred equity interest in the joint venture for $19.0 million.

46



We also expect to acquire or invest in other operating assets in 2013 that will increase our asset base and supplement top line earnings. As previously described in our Form 10-K, during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we entered into an agreement with an existing borrower group in our loan portfolio to, at our option, transfer to us ownership of certain assets in satisfaction of the related loans. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company completed its acquisition of these assets, which include two operating hotels located in Arizona and a 28-lot residential subdivision located in Arizona, among other assets. With the acquisition of such assets, there comes the challenge and cost of day-to-day operations but also the opportunity to revitalize assets and operations that have generally suffered in recent periods. With our combination of internal and external professionals, we expect to re-position these operating assets to produce a market-rate return as portfolio holdings or to dispose of these assets at favorable prices. We have also continued to pursue development activities with respect with certain other REO assets.
In connection with the shareholder class action litigation described in our previously filed Form 10-K, the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware held a settlement hearing on July 18, 2013 during which it heard, among other things, argument as to the fairness of the proposed settlement outlined in the MOU and arguments from each objector. Following the settlement hearing, the Chancery Court entered a Final Order and Judgment ("Final Order") which approved the terms of the settlement of the Litigation as outlined in the MOU and Stipulation, with slight modifications. The Company's rights and obligations under the Stipulation and Final Order are contingent the expiration of the period to file appeals of the Final Order or, if any appeal is filed, upon the final resolution of any such appeal ("Final Approval"). The Exchange Offering and the Rights Offering are required to be initiated within P30Ds following Final Approval. On July 23 and July 26, 2013, two appeals were timely filed in the Supreme Court of Delaware by two of the Objectors. On October 11, 2013, one of the appeals was voluntarily dismissed. The other appeal remains pending. If the remaining appeal is denied or is voluntarily dismissed, the Final Order will have Final Approval.
While focused on the foregoing objectives and activities, the Company remains nimble in its objectives and is poised to re-direct its efforts as economic circumstances unfold. We stand ready to adjust the relative scaling of our business activities and objectives as circumstances dictate.

Mortgage Loan Income.
During the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, income from mortgage loans was $0.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively, a decrease of $0.1 million, or 19.9%. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, income from mortgage loans was $0.6 million and $0.8 million, respectively, a decrease of $0.2 million, or 31.1%. The year-over-year decrease in mortgage loan income for the period is attributable to the decrease in the income-earning portion of our loan portfolio. While the total loan portfolio outstanding principal was $30.0 million at September 30, 2013, the income-earning asset balance was $5.6 million with a weighted average interest rate of 12.5%, as compared to outstanding principal of $129.7 million at September 30, 2012, and an income-earning asset balance of $7.0 million with a weighted average interest rate of 12.5%. As of September 30, 2013, five of our seven loans were in default and non-accrual status, as compared to nine out of our 12 loans at September 30, 2012.  As such, in the absence of acquiring or originating new loans, we anticipate mortgage income to remain at minimal levels in future periods until such time that we are able to generate sufficient liquidity to re-commence lending activities at a meaningful level.
Mortgage loan originations during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 have been limited to partial financings in connection with the sale of REO assets. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we financed one new loan with a principal balance of $1.1 million at an interest rate of 12.5%.
Rental Income.
During the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, we recognized rental income of $0.4 million for each period. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, we recognized rental income of $1.2 million for each period. We expect rental income to remain consistent based on existing tenant lease terms and to increase as we secure new tenants.
Hospitality and Entertainment Income.
Hospitality and entertainment income is comprised of revenue from hotel and golf course operations, as well as related spa and food and beverage activities, all acquired through foreclosure. During the three months ended September 30, 2013, hospitality and entertainment income was $5.3 million, a $4.9 million increase from $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, hospitality and entertainment income was $9.9 million, a $8.6 million increase from $1.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The increase is primarily attributed to the acquisition of two hotels and related spa and food and beverage operations in settlement of a related loan obligation with one of our borrowers which occurred in May 2013. We anticipate increased revenue during the balance of 2013 as we recognize additional revenues from these sources.
Investment and Other Income.
Investment and other income is comprised of investment income earned on non-mortgage real estate investments, interest earned on certain notes receivable from a tenant of one of our operating properties, and fees earned from our

50



management of the SWI Fund. During the three months ended September 30, 2013, investment and other income was $0.9 million, an increase of $0.7 million from $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, investment and other income was $2.0 million, an increase of $1.7 million from $0.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The increase is primarily attributable to our $15 million preferred equity investment made during the first quarter of 2013, for which we are receiving a 15% preferred return plus other derivative gains based on the fair value of the underlying assets in excess of original basis.

Operating Property Expenses (exclusive of Taxes, Interest and Depreciation).
Operating Property Expenses consist of direct expenses incidental to the day-to-day operations of our active operating properties (exclusive of Property Taxes, Interest and Depreciation expense which are reported separately in the condensed consolidated statement of operations), which are comprised of an 18-hole golf course, two hotels, a spa and restaurants at each property. During the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, operating property direct expenses totaled $4.6 million and $0.9 million, respectively, an increase of $3.7 million.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, operating property direct expenses totaled $8.6 million and $2.4 million, respectively, as increase of $6.2 million.  The year over year change for the three and nine month periods is primarily attributed to the acquisition of two hotels and related spa and food and beverage operations which occurred in May 2013. In addition, the increase is partially attributed to a full nine months of operating expenses in 2013 as compared to 2012 relating to the golf course and food and beverage operation acquired through foreclosure in March 2012. We expect such costs and expenses to increase as we continue to foreclose on operating properties and as activities of operating properties increase.
Property Taxes for REO.
During the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, property tax expense, net of property tax refunds received, totaled $0.3 million and $0.6 million, respectively, a decrease of $0.3 million, or 54%.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, property tax expense, net of property tax refunds received, totaled $1.0 million and $1.5 million, respectively, a decrease of $0.5 million, or 32.9%.  The year over year decrease for the three and nine month periods is primarily attributed to property tax refunds received in 2013 totaling approximately $0.3 million resulting from successful tax appeals, and the disposition of certain REO properties and during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and in the latter part of 2012. We expect such costs and expenses to increase as we continue to exercise remedies on loans in default and to decrease as we dispose of real estate owned.

51



Other Operating Expenses for REO.
Other operating expenses for REO include home owner association (HOA) dues, utilities, repairs and maintenance, and other expenses attributable to non-operating properties.  During the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, other operating expenses for REO assets was $0.3 million and $0.8 million, respectively, a decrease of $0.5 million, or 67.9%.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, other operating expenses for REO assets was $0.6 million and $1.4 million, respectively, a decrease of $0.7 million, or 52.9%.  The decrease is primarily attributed to reduced expenses for security, repairs and maintenance, and HOA dues resulting the sale of related properties.
Professional Fees.
During the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, professional fees totaled $2.2 million and $1.8 million, respectively, an increase of $0.4 million, or 20.7%. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, professional fees totaled $6.0 million and $3.9 million, respectively, an increase of $2.1 million, or 54.0%. The increase for the three and nine month periods is primarily attributed to a settlement reached in the second quarter of 2012 with a previous legal vendor that reduced the outstanding liability to the vendor, offset by increased legal, accounting and other professional fees incurred in connection with loan and guarantor enforcement and transactional matters.
General and Administrative Expenses.
During the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, general and administrative expenses remained relatively consistent at $1.5 million for each period. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, general and administrative expenses totaled $4.2 million and $4.8 million, respectively, a decrease of $0.6 million, or 12.8%. The decrease in general and administrative costs is primarily attributed to a reduction in our rent expense as a result of our exit of a previous office lease in the second quarter of 2012, as well as slightly lower compensation, partially offset by an increase in insurance costs.
Interest Expense. 
Interest expense includes interest incurred in connection with the NW Capital loan, a note payable assumed in connection with the acquisition the operating hotel properties previously described, and borrowings from various other lenders. During the three months ended September 30, 2013, interest expense was $5.2 million as compared to $3.7 million for the same period in 2012, an increase of $1.5 million or 42.9%. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, interest expense was $13.9 million as compared to $10.8 million for the same period in 2012, an increase of $3.1 million or 28.2%. The increase is attributed primarily to default interest on certain notes payable in default as well as interest for a $10 million financing secured during the nine months ended September 30, 2013. In addition, a portion of the increase is attributed to the assumption of a note payable note payable with a principal balance of approximately $24.7 million assumed in May 2013 in connection with the acquisition certain operating hotel properties.
Depreciation and Amortization Expense.
During the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, depreciation and amortization expense was approximately $1.0 million and $0.5 million, respectively, an increase of $0.5 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, depreciation and amortization expense was comparable at $2.1 million for each period. The increase in the three month period is attributed to the acquisition of the hotels and related depreciable assets in the second quarter of 2013. This increase for 2013 was offset by a decrease resulting from the accelerated amortization on certain leasehold improvements abandoned in the second quarter of 2012, resulting in a comparable amount for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.
Gain on Disposal of Assets.

52



During the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, gain on the disposal of assets totaled $0.3 million and $0.4 million, a decrease of $0.1 million, or 31.5%. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, gain on the disposal of assets totaled $1.0 million and $0.6 million, an increase of $0.4 million, or 61.3%. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we sold six REO assets (or portions thereof) for $7.6 million (net of selling costs) resulting in a net gain of approximately $1.0 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we sold seven REO assets for $17.0 million (net of selling costs) resulting in a net gain of approximately $0.6 million.

As described in note 11 of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, various disputes arose relating to the consent solicitation/prospectus used in connection with seeking member approval of the Conversion Transactions, and we were named in various lawsuits containing allegations and claims that fiduciary duties owed to Fund members and to the Fund were breached for various reasons. The claims were consolidated into the putative class action lawsuit captioned In re IMH Secured Loan Fund Unitholders Litigation in the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware against us, certain affiliated and predecessor entities, and certain former and current of our officers and directors (“Fund Litigation”).
On January 31, 2012, we reached a tentative settlement in principle to resolve all claims asserted by the plaintiffs in the Fund Litigation, other than the claims of one plaintiff which were separately settled. The tentative settlement in principle, memorialized in a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) previously filed with our 8-K dated February 6, 2012, was subject to certain class certification conditions, confirmatory discovery and final court approval (including a fairness hearing). The Chancery Court held a settlement hearing on July 18, 2013 during which it heard, among other things, argument as to the fairness of the settlement and arguments from each objector. Following the settlement hearing, the Chancery Court entered a Final Order which approved the terms of the settlement of the Litigation as outlined in the MOU and Stipulation, with slight modifications. The Company's rights and obligations under the Stipulation and Final Order are contingent upon Final Approval. The Exchange Offering and the Rights Offering are required to be initiated within P30Ds following Final Approval. On July 23 and July 26, 2013, two appeals were timely filed in the Supreme Court of Delaware by two of the Objectors. On October 11, 2013, one of the appeals was voluntarily dismissed. The other appeal remains pending. If the remaining appeal is denied or is voluntarily dismissed, the Final Order will have Final Approval. If the appeal is granted, the case could be returned to the Chancery Court for further proceedings. The Final Order provides for a full release and settlement of all claims, other than the claims of the one non-settling plaintiff (against whom we are litigating separately), against us and the other defendants in connection with the claims made in the Fund Litigation. We have expended and continue to expend significant Company resources in our defense of the Fund Litigation. Due to the significance of the anticipated settlement and related costs, we have separately identified such costs in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. Such amounts consist primarily of legal, accounting and other professional fees incurred in connection with the settlement proposal, including costs surrounding the proposed Rights Offering and Exchange Offering. During the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, we recorded net settlement and related costs of $0.8 million for each period. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, we recorded net settlement and related costs of $2.0 million and $1.5 million, respectively, an increase of $0.5 million, or 33.8%. The year over year increase for the nine month periods is attributed to increased legal fees relating to the settlement as well as costs incurred in connection with the anticipated Rights Offering and Exchange Offering. We are seeking recovery of legal fees and other costs that may be reimbursable under our existing insurance plans. However, recognition of such recoveries will be recorded upon acceptance and processing of our claims by our insurance carriers. In addition, we have not included any other adjustments relating to the potential repurchase of stock in exchange for the issuance of convertible notes because the matter is still subject to the approval of the court (which is not assured) and because of the uncertainty of timing and of the GAAP based “fair value” determination of such securities as of the date of settlement. At the time that these amounts are estimable, we will record the appropriate amounts resulting from the resolution of this matter. We expect settlement and related costs as well as professional fees to increase in connection with the resolution of this matter.

Recovery for Credit Losses.

53



During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, we recorded recoveries of credit losses totaling $0.7 million and $8.3 million. Of the $8.3 million, $7.0 million consists of non-cash recoveries based on the valuation analysis performed on our loan and REO portfolio during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, and related specifically to the improved value for the hotel operations and the pricing and absorption assumptions for the residential lots acquired through foreclosure. The improved value was reflective of improved operating results and improved market conditions for the hospitality sector and in residential real estate as it pertains to the related assets. In addition, we recorded recoveries of credit losses of $0.7 million and $1.5 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, relating to cash and other asset collections from certain guarantors for which an allowance for credit loss had been previously recorded. Similarly, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, we recorded recoveries of credit losses totaling $1.0 million and $1.9 million. Of the $1.9 million, $1.0 million consists of non-cash recoveries based on the valuation analysis performed on our loan and REO portfolio during the nine months ended September 30, 2012, while $0.9 million related to the collection of certain notes receivable from a guarantor for which an allowance for credit loss had been previously recorded.
Loan Originations, Loan Types, Borrowers, the Underwriting Process and Loan Monitoring
Lending Activities
As of September 30, 2013, our loan portfolio consisted of seven first lien mortgage loans with a carrying value of $12.5 million. As of December 31, 2012, our loan portfolio consisted of nine first lien mortgage loans with carrying values of $73.3 million. Given the non-performing status of the majority of the loan portfolio and the suspension of significant lending activities, there continued to be limited loan activity during the nine months ended September 30, 2013. Except for the origination of one loan totaling $1.1 million relating to the financing of a portion of the sale of certain REO assets, no other new loans were originated during the nine months ended September 30, 2013.  Similarly, we originated only two loans totaling $5.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 relating to the partial financing of the sale of certain REO assets. As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the valuation allowance represented 58.9% and 41.3%, respectively, of the total outstanding loan principal and interest balances.
Lien Priority
Historically, all mortgage loans have been collateralized by first deeds of trust (mortgages) on real property, and generally include a personal guarantee by the principals of the borrower. Often the loans are secured by additional collateral. As of September 30, 2013, there were no third-party loans that were superior to our lien position on our existing loan portfolio. However, as of December 31, 2012, there was an outstanding third-party loan totaling approximately $17.7 million and a capital lease obligation of approximately $3.1 million secured by a portion of our collateral that was superior to our lien position on one of our loans with an outstanding principal and accrued interest balance of $51.9 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we took title to the underlying assets through a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure and assumed the related third-party loan and capital lease obligation, which totaled approximately $24.7 million and $1.3 million, respectively, as of the date of acquisition. While subordinations of our first lien positions are not expected to be a common occurrence in the future, we may find it necessary to do so in an effort to maximize the opportunity for recovery of our investment.

Changes in the Loan Portfolio Profile
Average Loan Size
At September 30, 2013, the average principal and interest balance for our loans was $4.4 million, as compared to $13.9 million at December 31, 2012. The net decrease in average note balance is a result of the foreclosure of two significant loans during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, as well as certain loan paydowns received during the nine months ended September 30, 2013.
Geographic Diversification

54



At September 30, 2013, our mortgage loans consist of loans where the primary collateral is located in Arizona, California and Utah. The concentration of our loan portfolio in Arizona and California, markets in which values were severely impacted by the decline in the real estate market, totals 51.1% and 90.3% at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. Although at September 30, 2013, only 0.2% of our loan collateral is located in Arizona. The change in the geographic diversification of our loans is primarily attributed to the foreclosure and transfer of such loans to REO assets. There has been no other material change in our geographical diversification or concentrations since December 31, 2012.
While our geographic concentration has been focused primarily in the southwestern United States, we expect to further diversify our investments geographically if attractive opportunities arise when we recommence lending activities.
See “Note 3 - Mortgage Investments, Loan Participations and Loan Sales” in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and Item 2. - "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Selected Financial Data" for additional information regarding the geographic diversification of our mortgage investment portfolio

Interest Rate Information
Our loan portfolio includes loans that carry variable and fixed interest rates. All variable interest rate loans are indexed to the Prime rate with interest rate floors. At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, the Prime rate was 3.25% per annum.
Despite these interest rates, the majority of our existing loans are in non-accrual status. As of September 30, 2013, we had two performing loans with an average outstanding principal and accrued interest balance of $2.9 million and a weighted average interest rate of 12.5%. At December 31, 2012, two of our nine portfolio loans were performing and had an average principal balance of $2.7 million and a weighted average interest rate of 12.7%. For additional discussion regarding the impact of pro forma increases or decreases in the Prime rate, see “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” located in our previously filed Form 10-K.
See “Note 3 - Mortgage Investments, Loan Participations and Loan Sales” in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and Item 2. - "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Selected Financial Data" for additional information regarding interest rates for our loan portfolio.
Loan and Borrower Attributes
Our borrowers generally consist of land developers, homebuilders, commercial property developers and real estate investors, while the collateral supporting our loans generally consists of fee simple real estate zoned for residential, commercial or industrial use. We also classify loans into categories based on the underlying collateral's projected end-use for purposes of identifying and managing loan concentration and associated risks. With our suspension of the funding of new loans, the concentration of our current portfolio loans by development status and expected end-use of the underlying collateral has not changed materially, and is not expect to change materially, until we begin making new mortgage and other real estate investments.
As of September 30, 2013, the original projected end-use of the collateral under our loans was comprised of 84.9% residential and 15.1% mixed-use. As of December 31, 2012, the original projected end-use of the collateral under our loans was comprised of 54.5% residential, 4.0% mixed-use, and 41.5% commercial. Changes in classifications are primarily a result of foreclosures of certain loans, unless loans are modified and additional loan amounts advanced to allow a borrower's project to progress to the next phase of the project's development.
At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the entire balance of the valuation allowance was attributable to residential-related projects.

Of the total of matured loans as of September 30, 2013, approximately 60.9% matured in the year ended December 31, 2008 and 20.4% matured in the year ended December 31, 2010.
From time to time, we may extend a mortgage loan's maturity date in the normal course of business. In this regard, we have modified certain loans, extending maturity dates in some cases to two or more years, and we expect we will modify additional loans in the future in an effort to seek to preserve our collateral. Accordingly, repayment dates of the loans may vary from their currently scheduled maturity date. If the maturity date of a loan is not extended, we classify and report the loan as matured.
Operating Properties and Real Estate Held for Development or Sale
A discussion and summary of Operating Properties and REO held for development or sale as of September 30, 2013 is presented in Note 4 of the accompanying financial statements under the heading entitled “Operating Properties and Real Estate Held for Development or Sale”.
On May 14, 2013, the Company, through various subsidiaries, completed the acquisition of certain assets and assumption of certain related liabilities (the “Sedona Assets”), pursuant to an agreement dated March 28, 2013, as amended and restated (the “Sedona Agreement”), with one of the Company's borrowers and certain subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively, the “Borrowers”) in full satisfaction of certain mortgage loans held by the Company with a net current carrying value of approximately $60.1 million as of September 30, 2013 and $60.2 million as of December 31, 2012, and for the purpose of releasing the Borrowers from further liability under the loans and guarantees, subject to certain post-closing conditions and limitations. The primary Sedona Assets include the following:
certain real property, including all improvements thereon, including two operating hotels located in Sedona,Arizona, subject to a pre-existing primary first mortgage lien and capital lease obligation, which totaled approximately $24.7 million and $1.3 million, respectively, as of May 14, 2013;
various leasehold and other interests in multiple leases relating primarily to the operations of the hotels; and
a 28-lot residential subdivision located in Sedona, Arizona.

In connection with the recording of the deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, we recorded the assets and liabilities on a gross basis at their estimated fair values based on appraisals received for such assets, but not in excess of our net basis in the loans. This included property, plant and equipment with a carrying value of approximately $91.4 million, as well as a mortgage note payable of approximately $24.7 million, a capital lease obligation of approximately $1.3 million, and

56



accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $3.4 million. The appraised values of such assets were equal to or in excess of the new assets recorded.
Of the assets acquired in the transaction, the operating hotels are classified as operating properties in our hospitality and entertainment segment, while the 28-lot residential subdivision is classified as real estate held for development.
In addition, during the three months ended September 30, 2013, we acquired a single-family Scottsdale residence in connection with a guarantor settlement with an estimated fair value of approximately $0.3 million.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we sold six REO assets (or portions thereof) for $7.6 million (net of selling costs), of which we financed $1.1 million, resulting in a net gain of approximately $1.0 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we sold seven REO assets for $17.0 million (net of selling costs), of which we financed $5.5 million, resulting in a net gain of approximately $0.6 million.
Preferred Equity Investment and Derivative Investment Receivable
During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we entered into a limited liability agreement to form a joint venture with unrelated parties for the purpose of acquiring a multi-family portfolio comprised of 14 apartment communities across six states, which will be managed by a third party, national firm, specializing in multi-family assets. Under the terms of the joint venture agreement, we contributed $15 million through one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries that holds the status of a preferred member. Another of our wholly-owned subsidiaries contributed no capital, but serves as a limited guarantor member on the senior indebtedness of the joint venture that is secured by the acquired operating properties. No other capital contributions are required by us. A non-IMHFC member will serve as the managing member of the joint venture. Our preferred member interest is secured by the other non-IMHFC members' interest in each of the single member LLC's that hold title to real property owned by each respective LLC.
Under the terms of the joint venture agreement, the joint venture is required to redeem our preferred membership interest for the redemption price (as defined in the joint venture agreement) on or before the second anniversary of the closing date, or the redemption date may be extended at the joint venture's option for one additional year for a fee to the Company of $0.3 million. We are also entitled to a 15% annualized return on our $15 million preferred equity investment, and we are further entitled to an exit fee equal to the greater of 4% of our original investment or 1.5% of the fair market value of the portfolio assets of the joint venture at the two year preferred equity redemption date, as described further below. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 we recognized approximately $0.8 million and $2.0 million, respectively, in investment income from this investment.
Subsequent to September 30, 2013, we sold our preferred equity position in the joint venture to an unrelated party for $19.0 million which exceeded the collective carrying value of our preferred equity investment and derivative investment receivable. No gain on the sale was recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

A discussion and summary of the Preferred Equity Investment and Derivative Investment Receivable as of September 30, 2013 is presented in Note 5 of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements under the heading entitled “Preferred Equity Investment and Derivative Investment Receivable”.
Important Relationships Between Capital Resources and Results of Operations
Summary of Existing Loans in Default
At September 30, 2013, there were five loans in default with a net carrying value of $6.8 million, as compared to seven loans in default with a carrying value of $67.8 million at December 31, 2012. As previously described, during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we completed the acquisition of the Sedona Assets in full satisfaction of certain mortgage loans held by the Company with a net carrying value of approximately $60.2 million as of December 31, 2012.

57



See “Note 3 – Mortgage Investments, Loan Participations and Loan Sales” in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and Item 2. - "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Selected Financial Data" for additional information regarding the classification of our loan portfolio.
Valuation Allowance and Fair Value Measurement of Loans and Real Estate Held for Sale
A discussion of our valuation allowance, fair value measurement, valuation categories and summaries of the procedures performed in connection with our fair value analysis as of September 30, 2013, is presented in Note 6 of the accompanying financial statements. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, we recorded recoveries of credit losses totaling $0 and $8.3 million. Of the $8.3 million, $7.0 million consists of non-cash recoveries based on the valuation analysis performed on our loan and REO portfolio during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, and related specifically to the improved value for the hotel operations and the pricing and absorption assumptions for the residential lots acquired through foreclosure as previously described. The improved value was reflective of improved operating results and improved market conditions for the hospitality sector and the pricing and absorption assumptions for the residential lots as it pertains to the related assets. In addition, we recorded other recoveries of credit losses of $0.7 million and $1.5 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, relating to cash and other asset collections from certain guarantors on prior loans. Similarly, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, we recorded recoveries of credit losses totaling $1.0 million and $1.9 million. Of the $1.9 million, $1.0 million consists of non-cash recoveries based on the valuation analysis performed on our loan and REO portfolio during the nine months ended September 30, 2012, while $0.9 million related to the collection of certain notes receivable from a guarantor for which an allowance for credit loss had been previously recorded. Also, we recorded no gain or loss resulting from the fair value analysis of our derivative investment.
Leverage to Enhance Yields
During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we secured financing of $10 million that is secured by certain REO assets with a carrying value of $24.0 million at September 30, 2013. The note payable bears annual interest of 12%, with required monthly payments of interest and the outstanding principal due at maturity. The note matures in February 2014 and may be extended for two additional six month terms. In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we assumed a note payable in the amount of $24.7 million from a bank in connection with a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure that closed on May 14, 2013, that is secured by one of the hotel operating properties with a gross asset basis of approximately $83.1 million at September 30, 2013. The note payable bears annual interest of 12%, with required monthly payments of principal and interest and the outstanding principal due at maturity. The note matures on March 28, 2014. We obtained a release from NW Capital to secure this debt. We did not undertake any other borrowing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2013. However, we may deem it beneficial, if not necessary, to employ additional leverage in the future. See “Note 7 – Debt, Notes Payable and Special Assessment Obligations” in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding our outstanding indebtedness.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Upon the initial funding of loans, we typically establish a reserve for future interest payments which is deposited into a controlled disbursement account in the name of the borrower for our benefit. These accounts, which are held in the name of the borrowers, are not included in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. However, as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, there were no such amounts outstanding and we did not have any other off-balance sheet arrangements.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We require liquidity and capital resources for various financial needs, including to acquire and originate our target assets, as well as for cost, expenses and general working capital needs, including, maintenance, operating and development costs for REO assets, general and administrative operating costs, management fees and loan enforcement costs, interest expense on loans, repayment of principal on borrowings, payment of settlement costs related to the Conversion Transactions, payment of outstanding property taxes and other liabilities and costs.

58



At September 30, 2013, we had cash and cash equivalents of $1.7 million and restricted cash and cash equivalents of $4.7 million, as well as loans held for sale totaling $12.5 million and REO held for sale of $51.8 million. These items comprise our primary sources of liquidity and we believe they are sufficient to cover our liquidity needs over the next twelve months. However, there is no assurance that we will be successful in selling existing real estate assets in a timely manner or in obtaining additional financing, if needed, to sufficiently fund future operations or to implement our investment strategy. Further, each sale requires the approval of the holders of our convertible notes payable.  Our failure to generate sustainable earning assets and successfully liquidate a sufficient number of our loans and real estate assets, including receiving approval from our lender of such liquidations, may have a further material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial position.
Our requirements for and sources of liquidity and capital resources are described in more detail in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. There have been no material changes to our requirements for liquidity as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.
Cash Flows
Cash Used In Operating Activities  
Cash used in operating activities was $13.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to $16.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. Cash flows from operating activities includes proceeds from the cash generated from interest and other mortgage income from our loan portfolio, offset by amounts paid for property taxes and other operating costs for REO assets, professional fees, general and administrative expenses and other expenses, as well as interest on our notes payable. The decrease in cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the 2012 period is primarily attributable to amounts collected on recoveries from guarantors.
Cash Provided By (Used in) Investing Activities  
Net cash used in investing activities was $4.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to cash provided by investing activities of $16.0 million for the comparable 2012 period. Net cash used in investing activities was primarily due to a preferred equity investment made during the period totaling $15.0 million, offset by $8.6 million in mortgage loan repayments and proceeds from asset sales and recoveries of $6.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we received mortgage repayments of $7.3 million and proceeds of asset sales of $11.5 million.
Cash Provided by Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $17.2 million and $0.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we secured note proceeds totaling $10.2 million and had a decrease in restricted cash of $10.2 million, which was offset by debt issue costs of $1.1 million, repayments of notes payable of $1.3 million and dividends paid of $0.8 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we had a decrease in restricted cash of $1.6 million, which was offset by dividends paid of $1.3 million.

Critical Accounting Policies
Our critical accounting policies are disclosed in our previously filed Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012.  As of September 30, 2013, there has been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies from December 31, 2012, except as disclosed in Note 2 of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
For information regarding recent accounting pronouncements that are applicable to us, see Note 2 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included with this Form 10-Q.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Our quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk are disclosed in our previously filed Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.  As of September 30, 2013, there has been no significant changes in our market risks from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.
Interest Rate Risk
Because our two performing loans are fixed rate loans and the remaining 55% of the principal balances of our loans are in non-accrual status as of September 30, 2013, changes in weighted average interest rates for our loan portfolio have little impact on interest income.
The following table contains information about our mortgage loan principal and accrued interest receivable balances as of September 30, 2013, presented separately for fixed and variable rates and the calendar quarters in which such mortgage investments mature (in thousands).

As of September 30, 2013, we had cash and cash equivalents totaling $1.7 million and restricted cash of $4.7 million (together 2.6% of total assets), all of which were held in bank accounts or highly liquid money market accounts or short-term certificates of deposit. We have historically targeted between 3% and 5% of our portfolio balances to be held as a working capital reserve. However, our actual deployment ratio of cash may vary in the future depending on a variety of factors, including the timing and amount of debt or capital raised, contractual restrictions and the timing and amount of investments made. We believe that these financial assets do not give rise to significant interest rate risk due to their short-term nature.

 Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Controls and Procedures
Our management has evaluated, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act), as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q.
Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2013 to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes to Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during our fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2013 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily is required to apply its judgment in designing and evaluating the controls and procedures.  We regularly review and document our disclosure controls and procedures, and we are in the process of refining our internal control over financial reporting, and may from time to time make appropriate changes aimed at enhancing their effectiveness and ensure that our systems evolve with our business.
