(1)      The IRR for the investments shown in this presentation reflect the returns underwritten by ACREFI Management, LLC, the Company’s external manager (the “Manager”), calculated on a weighted average basis assuming no dispositions, early prepayments or defaults but
assuming that extension options are exercised and that the cost of borrowings under the master repurchase agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (the “Wells Facility”) remains constant over the remaining terms and extension terms under this facility.  With respect to
certain loans, the IRR calculation assumes certain estimates with respect to the timing and magnitude of future fundings for the remaining commitments and associated loan repayments, and assumes no defaults. IRR is the annualized effective compounded return rate that
accounts for the time-value of money and represents the rate of return on an investment over a holding period expressed as a percentage of the investment. It is the discount rate that makes the net present value of all cash outflows (the costs of investment) equal to the net
present value of cash inflows (returns on investment). It is derived from the negative and positive cash flows resulting from or produced by each transaction (or for a transaction involving more than one investment, cash flows resulting from or produced by each of the
investments), whether positive, such as investment returns, or negative, such as transaction expenses or other costs of investment, taking into account the dates on which such cash flows occurred or are expected to occur, and compounding interest accordingly. There can
be no assurance that the actual IRRs will equal the underwritten IRRs shown above. See “Item 1A—Risk Factors—The Company may not achieve its underwritten internal rate of return on its investments which may lead to future returns that may be significantly lower than
anticipated” included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 for a discussion of some of the factors that could adversely impact the returns received by the Company from the investments shown in the table over time.

Q1 Highlights
(1)
The underwritten IRR for the investments shown in this presentation reflect the returns underwritten by the Manager, calculated on a weighted average basis assuming no dispositions, early prepayments or defaults but assuming that extension options
are exercised and that the cost of borrowings under the Wells Facility remains constant over the remaining terms and extension terms under this facility.  With respect to certain loans, the underwritten IRR calculation assumes certain estimates with
respect to the timing and magnitude of future fundings for the remaining commitments and associated loan repayments, and assumes no defaults. IRR is the annualized effective compounded return rate that accounts for the time-value of money and
represents the rate of return on an investment over a holding period expressed as a percentage of the investment. It is the discount rate that makes the net present value of all cash outflows (the costs of investment) equal to the net present value of cash
inflows (returns on investment). It is derived from the negative and positive cash flows resulting from or produced by each transaction (or for a transaction involving more than one investment, cash flows resulting from or produced by each of the
investments), whether positive, such as investment returns, or negative, such as transaction expenses or other costs of investment, taking into account the dates on which such cash flows occurred or are expected to occur, and compounding interest
accordingly. There can be no assurance that the actual IRRs will equal the underwritten IRRs shown above. See “Item 1A—Risk Factors—The Company may not achieve its underwritten internal rate of return on its investments which may lead to future
returns that may be significantly lower than anticipated” included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 for a discussion of some of the factors that could adversely impact the returns received by the
Company from the investments shown in the table over time.  In addition, substantially all of the Company’s borrowings under the Company’s master repurchase agreement with JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the “ JPMorgan Facility”) were
repaid.  The Company's ability to achieve its underwritten levered weighted average IRR with regard to its portfolio of first mortgage loans is additionally dependent upon the Company re-borrowing approximately $88,000 under the JPMorgan Facility
or any replacement facility.   Without such re-borrowing, the levered weighted average underwritten IRRs would be the current weighted average underwritten IRR.  
(2)
The Company carries loans at amortized cost and its CMBS are marked to market.  Management has estimated that the fair value of the Company’s financial assets at March 31, 2014 was approximately $3.7 million greater than the carrying value of the
Company’s investment portfolio as of the same date.  This represents a premium of $0.10 per share over the Company's GAAP book value as of  March 31, 2014.

The underwritten IRR for the investments shown in this table reflect the returns underwritten by the Manager, calculated on a weighted average basis assuming no dispositions, early prepayments or defaults but assuming that extension options are exercised

(5)
The Company's ability to achieve its underwritten levered weighted average IRR with regard to its portfolio of first mortgage loans is additionally dependent upon the Company re-borrowing approximately $88,000 in total under the JPMorgan Facility or any
replacement facility with similar terms.   Without such re-borrowing, the levered weighted average underwritten IRRs will be as indicated in the current weighted average underwritten IRR column above.

The underwritten  IRR for the investments shown in this presentation reflect the returns underwritten by the Manager, calculated on a weighted average basis assuming no dispositions, early prepayments or defaults but assuming that extension options are exercised and that the cost of
borrowings under the Wells Facility remains constant over the remaining terms and extension terms under this facility.  With respect to certain loans, the underwritten IRR calculation assumes certain estimates with respect to the timing and magnitude of future fundings for the remaining
commitments and associated loan repayments, and assumes no defaults. IRR is the annualized effective compounded return rate that accounts for the time-value of money and represents the rate of return on an investment over a holding period expressed as a percentage of the investment. It is
the discount rate that makes the net present value of all cash outflows (the costs of investment) equal to the net present value of cash inflows (returns on investment). It is derived from the negative and positive cash flows resulting from or produced by each transaction (or for a transaction
involving more than one investment, cash flows resulting from or produced by each of the investments), whether positive, such as investment returns, or negative, such as transaction expenses or other costs of investment, taking into account the dates on which such cash flows occurred or are
expected to occur, and compounding interest accordingly. There can be no assurance that the actual IRRs will equal the underwritten IRRs shown in the table. See “Item 1A—Risk Factors—The Company may not achieve its underwritten internal rate of return on its investments which may lead
to future returns that may be significantly lower than anticipated” included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 for a discussion of some of the factors that could adversely impact the returns received by the Company from the investments shown
in the table over time
(2)
Includes $15.8 million of restricted cash related to the UBS Facility and $16.4 million of future borrowings related to unsettled trades at September 30, 2013 and $30.1 million of restricted cash related to the UBS Facility at December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2014, respectively.
(3)
Represents an underwritten levered weighted average IRR.  The Company's ability to achieve the underwritten levered weighted average IRR additionally depends upon the Company re-borrowing approximately $88,000 under the JPMorgan Facility or any replacement facility with similar
terms with regard to its portfolio of first mortgage loans.   Without such re-borrowing, the levered weighted average underwritten IRR will be lower than the amount shown above, as indicated in the current weighted average underwritten IRR column on page 9.

Quarterly Migration Summary
COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE FINANCE, INC. (“ARI”)
21
(1)
Operating Earnings is a non-GAAP financial measure that is used by the Company to approximate cash available for distribution and is defined by the Company as net income available to common stockholders, computed in accordance with
GAAP, adjusted for (i) equity-based compensation expense (a portion of which may become cash-based upon final vesting and settlement of awards should the holder elect net share settlement to satisfy income tax withholding) (ii) any unrealized
gains or losses or other non-cash items included in net income and (iii) the non-cash amortization expense related to the reclassification of a portion of the senior convertible notes to stockholders’ equity in accordance with GAAP.  Please see
slide 20 for a reconciliation of Operating Earnings and Operating Earnings per Share to GAAP net income and GAAP net income per share.
(2)
The Company carries loans at amortized cost and its CMBS securities are marked to market.  Management estimates the fair value of the Company’s financial assets.
(3)
Return on common equity is calculated as annualized Operating Earnings for the period as a percentage of average stockholders’ equity for the period.
