The recent enactment of California Civil Code Section 2924.13 may also significantly affect our ability to complete nonjudicial foreclosures with respect to our existing junior or "subordinate" mortgage loans as well as our ability to take advantage of otherwise advantageous junior loan opportunities in the future. See “Regulations - California AB 130 and Civil Code Section 2924.13” in Part I of this report. If recent court cases challenging AB 130 find that the provisions of Section 2924.13 apply retroactively to subordinate loans currently in our loan portfolio we may be deemed to have violated provisions of Section 2924.13 with respect to actions (or inaction) that occurred prior to the date Section 2924.13 was enacted or proposed. In that case, our ability to foreclose on one or more of our junior loans following a default could be jeopardized and, even if foreclosure is permitted, refuting borrower defenses made available under Section 2942.13 may significantly increase the costs of foreclosure adversely affecting our ability to fully recover the loan amounts due.
We are engaged in the business of lending and, as such, are subject to the risk that borrowers may be unable to repay the loans in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement as we currently experience and have experienced onin occasion.the past. Mortgage loans are secured by commercial and residential real property and are subject to risks of delinquency, foreclosure and loss.
Owning real estate following foreclosure will subjectsubjects us to additional risks.
If a borrower is unable to pay our loan or refinance it when it is due, it may be in our best interest to institute foreclosure proceedings against the borrower, and to own the property for a period of time. WeWhen willwe beforeclose on a loan, we are subject to certain economic and liability risks attendant to property ownership which may affect our profitability and cash flow. The risks of ownership include the following:

Members will have no control over our operations, including the loans we make or sell; members must rely on the judgment of our manager in making loans.
In addition, our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting and is required to report on our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder and to evaluate and disclose on a quarterly and annual basis changes in our internal control over financial reporting. During the course of testing, material weaknesses or deficiencies in the design or operating effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting may be identified. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. As previously disclosed, for the quarter ended December 31, 2023, we identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting which consisted of the following: management had not engaged professional staff sufficient to timely obtain refreshed collateral and did not appropriately develop accounting policies and design and implement internal controls at a sufficient level of precision around our estimate of current expected future credit losses. This material weakness had nothas been remediated as of December 31, 2024.2025. While this material weakness did not result in any misstatement of our financial statements for any period presented, any future material weakness could result in a misstatement of account balances or disclosures that could result in a material misstatement to the annual or interim consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected.

Privacy and information security laws and regulation changes, and compliance with those changes, may also result in cost increases due to system changes and the development of new administrative processes.
Tax-exempt investors (such as an employee pension benefit plan or an IRA) may be subject to tax to the extent that income from the units is treated as unrelated business taxable income, or UBTI. WeFunds we borrow funds on a limited basis, which causescause a portion of income to be treated as UBTI. Investors that are tax-exempt entities are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the suitability of an investment in units. In particular, an investment in units may not be suitable for charitable remainder trusts.
The state in which a member resides may impose an income tax upon the member’s share of our taxable income. Furthermore, states such as California, in which we will own property, generally impose income tax upon a member’s share of the company’s taxable income considered allocable to such states, whether or not a member resides in that state. As a result, a nonresident member may be required to file a tax return in California. Members are urged to consult with their own tax advisers with respect to state and local tax consequences of an investment in our units.

Allowance for credit losses
Allowance/provision for credit losses (Adoption of ASC 326, Currently Expected Credit Losses (CECL), January 1, 2023)
As of January 1, 2023, the company adopted Accounting Standards Codification 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (ASC 326) using the modified retrospective approach, which requiredrequires a lifetime, current expected credit loss (CECL) measurement objective for the recognition of credit losses at the time a loan is originated or acquired. The allowance for credit losses is adjusted each period for changes in expected lifetime credit losses for loans and accrued interest.
The determination of the amount of the allowance for credit losses considers historical loss experience, current fair value of collateral and the resultant LTV, current real estate and financial markets, as well as reasonable and supportable forecasts about future economic scenarios. The forward-looking estimates consider the likelihood that any combination of events would adversely impact economic conditions and real estate markets in California such that the substantial protective equity existing(measured fornet theof loanssenior debt and claims) would no longer be sufficient to collect the recorded amounts of principal, advances and accrued interest due on the loan.
The fair value of real property (as to loan collateral and REO, if any) is determined by exercise of judgment based on RMC’s management’s experience informed by appraisals (by licensed appraisers), brokers’ opinion of values, and publicly available information on in-market transactions. Three methods are utilized: 1) market-comparables or sales approach; 2) cost to replace; and 3) capitalized cash flows or income approach. These approaches may or may not result in a common, single value. The market-comparables approach and income approach may yield different values depending on certain basic assumptions, including comparables sales, market capitalization rates and certain components of net operating income as well as the consideration of adjustments made for any attributes specific to the real estate. The application of these methods – and the assumptions utilized – could result in materially different amounts being reported in the financial statements, as the amount of credit losses, if any, recognized may vary based on the estimates and assumptions used.

In 2023 and 2024, RMC – at its sole discretion – collected less than the maximum allowable reimbursement of qualifying costs attributable to RMI IX (Costs from RMC on the Statements of Income), which increased the net income, cash available for distribution, and the net-distribution rate. See Note 3 (Manager and Other Related Parties) to the financial statements included in Part 1,II, Item 18 of this report for a detailed discussion of fees and cost reimbursements to which the manager is entitled.

The company redeems units quarterly. Pursuant to our Operating Agreement, in the event that redemption requests in excess of the foregoing limitations are received by the manager, eligible redemption requests are to be honored in the following order of priority:
first, to redemptions upon the death of a member, subject to a cap of $100 thousand per quarter for each deceased member’s account; and Pursuant to the Operating Agreement, the company will not, in any calendar year, redeem more than five percent (5%) and in any calendar quarter one and one-quarter percent (1.25%) of the weighted average number of units outstanding during the twelve (12) month period immediately prior to the date of the redemption. The manager may, but is not required to, waive this limitation if it deems it in the best interest of the company. The manager has no present intention to exercise its discretionary power to waive or modify the enforcement of the redemption limitations in the foreseeable future.
Redemptions of members’ capital for 2024 and 2023 are presented in the following table ($ in thousands).
Eligible members’ capital redemption requests at December 31, 20242025 approximated $24.3$25.8 million, of which $22.2$24.3 million were scheduled but unpaid redemption requests received in 2024 at or prior to September 30, 20242025; and $2.1$1.5 million were new redemption requests received in the quarter ended December 31, 20242025 thatand will be eligible for redemption at March 31, 2025.2026.

The secured loans principal – average daily balance in 2025 decreased by approximately $18.8 million compared to 2024. This decrease is primarily due to a reduced availability of loans qualifying under the company’s lending criteria.
The manager has sought to exercise strong discipline in underwriting loan applications and lending against collateral at amounts that create a secured loan portfolio that has substantial protective equity (i.e., property value to outstanding debt) as indicated by the overall weighted average loan-to-value ratio (LTV) which at December 31, 2024 was approximately 58.9% at the time of origination. Thus, pursuant to the appraisal-based valuations at the time of loan inception, borrowers had, in the aggregate, equity of 41.1% in the property, and we as a lender have lent in the aggregate 58.9% (including other senior liens on the property, for other than first-lien loans) against the properties we hold as collateral for the repayment of our loans.
LTVs presented in the following tables (and the supplemental information following them) have been updated for changes in fair values of the collateral as indicated by appraisals, broker opinion of value, or other external market evidence received by the manager after the origination of the loan, if any.any, and for the loan balance (the sum of principal, advances and interest unpaid) at December 31, 2025.
See the table below for specific details of the loans that have an LTV over 80%.
One loan with principal of $1.5 million had an LTV of 100% at its origination at December 31, 2024. The loan agreement was executed by an individual with extensive real estate holdings and substantial financial resources. The loan is fully amortizing in 36 monthly payments.

Net income decreased by approximately $420$1.6 thousandmillion in 20242025 as compared to 20232024 due to a decrease in net interest income of approximately $1.2 million, an increase in provision for credit losses of approximately $245 thousand and an increase in operations expenses of approximately $385$199 thousand, partially offset by an increase in netlate interest incomefees of approximately $41 thousand and an increase in gain on sale of loans of approximately $15$49 thousand. The portfolio interest rate on secured loans has increased by 0.450.7 percentage points to 9.4%10.1% since December 31, 20232024; the effective yield rate increased by 0.700.3 percentage points to 10.2%.

See Key performance indicators table included above in Part II, Item 7 of this report for details on the average interest rate on the line of credit.
The increase in the provision for credit losses to $335 thousand in 2025 reflects the decrease in the expected net proceeds to the company – for two collateral-dependent loans – upon foreclosure and subsequent sale of the underlying collateral, due to a decline in the fair value of the collateral and/or an increase in the amount of the senior debt and claims (e.g., delinquent property taxes). See the presentation on secured loans, principal, advances and interest unpaid, by LTV and lien position in this Item 8 for a detailed presentation of current loan status.
See Note 4 (Loans) to the financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this report for a detailed presentation of the provision/allowance for credit losses.
