Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses | Note 6 – Loans and allowance for loan losses The accounting for a loan depends on management’s strategy for the loan, and on whether the loan was credit-deteriorated at the date of acquisition. The Company accounts for loans based on the following loan program categories: ● Originated or purchased loans held-for-investment– originated transitional loans, originated conventional SBC and SBA loans, or acquired loans with no signs of credit deterioration at time of purchase. ● Loans at fair value – certain originated conventional SBC loans and PPP loans for which the Company has elected the fair value option ● Loans, held-for-sale, at fair value – originated or acquired that we intend to sell in the near term Loan portfolio The following table summarizes the classification, unpaid principal balance (“UPB”), and carrying value of loans held by the Company including loans of consolidated VIEs: September 30, 2020 December 31, 2019 Loans (In Thousands) Carrying Value UPB Carrying Value UPB Loans Originated Transitional loans $ 393,069 $ 396,639 $ 593,657 $ 600,226 Originated SBA 7(a) loans 307,450 310,454 297,934 299,580 Acquired SBA 7(a) loans 213,097 222,870 255,240 269,396 Originated SBC loans 177,870 174,286 133,118 132,227 Acquired loans 213,400 215,519 430,307 433,079 Originated PPP loans, at fair value 106,204 106,204 — — Originated SBC loans, at fair value 13,761 14,095 20,212 19,565 Originated Residential Agency loans 5,235 5,235 3,396 3,395 Total Loans, before allowance for loan losses $ 1,430,086 $ 1,445,302 $ 1,733,864 $ 1,757,468 Allowance for loan losses $ (36,947) $ — $ (5,880) $ — Total Loans, net $ 1,393,139 $ 1,445,302 $ 1,727,984 $ 1,757,468 Loans in consolidated VIEs Loans Originated SBC loans $ 945,188 $ 938,036 $ 1,037,844 $ 1,026,921 Originated Transitional loans 790,608 795,147 490,913 493,217 Acquired loans 781,997 787,399 666,226 671,698 Originated SBA 7(a) loans 71,871 75,718 79,457 83,559 Acquired SBA 7(a) loans 44,494 55,407 53,320 66,997 Total Loans, in consolidated VIEs, before allowance for loan losses $ 2,634,158 $ 2,651,707 $ 2,327,760 $ 2,342,392 Allowance for loan losses on loans in consolidated VIEs $ (15,709) $ — $ (1,561) $ — Total Loans, net, in consolidated VIEs $ 2,618,449 $ 2,651,707 $ 2,326,199 $ 2,342,392 Total Loans, net, and Loans, net in consolidated VIEs $ 4,011,588 $ 4,097,009 $ 4,054,183 $ 4,099,860 Loans, held for sale, at fair value Originated Residential Agency loans $ 287,959 $ 274,393 $ 136,506 $ 132,016 Originated Freddie Mac loans 20,486 20,242 21,775 21,513 Originated SBA 7(a) loans 39,764 36,581 28,551 26,669 Acquired loans 510 505 1,245 1,208 Total Loans, held for sale, at fair value $ 348,719 $ 331,721 $ 188,077 $ 181,406 Loans, held for sale, at fair value in consolidated VIEs Loans, held for sale, at fair value Acquired loans $ — $ — $ 4,434 $ 4,400 Total Loans, held for sale, at fair value in consolidated VIEs $ — $ — $ 4,434 $ 4,400 Total Loans, held for sale, at fair value, and Loans, held for sale, at fair value in consolidated VIEs $ 348,719 $ 331,721 $ 192,511 $ 185,806 Total Loan portfolio $ 4,360,307 $ 4,428,730 $ 4,246,694 $ 4,285,666 Loan vintage and credit quality indicators The Company monitors credit quality of our loan portfolio based on primary credit quality indicators. Delinquency rates are a primary credit quality indicator for our types of loans. Loans that are more than 30 days past due provide an early warning of borrowers who may be experiencing financial difficulties and/or who may be unable or unwilling to repay the loan. As the loan continues to age, it becomes clearer that the borrower is likely either unable or unwilling to pay.

(2) Includes Loans, net in consolidated VIEs In addition to delinquency rates, the current estimated LTV ratio is another indicator that can provide insight into a borrower’s continued willingness to pay, as the delinquency rate of high LTV loans tends to be greater than that for loans where the borrower has equity in the collateral. The geographic distribution of the loan collateral also provides insight as to the credit quality of the portfolio, as factors such as the regional economy, property price changes and specific events such as natural disasters, will affect credit quality. The collateral concentration of the loan portfolio also provides insight as to the credit quality of the portfolio, as certain economic factors or events may have a more pronounced impact on certain sectors or property types.

Modified loans that are classified as TDRs are individually evaluated and measured for impairment. In March 2020, a joint statement was issued by federal and state regulatory agencies, after consultation with the FASB, to clarify that short-term loan modifications are not TDRs if made on a good-faith basis in response to COVID-19 to borrowers who were current prior to any relief. Under this guidance, six months is provided as an example of short-term, and current is defined as less than 30 days past due at the time the modification program is implemented. The guidance also provides that these modified loans generally will not be classified as non-accrual during the term of the modification. For borrowers who are 30 days or more past due when enrolling in a loan modification program related to the COVID-19 pandemic, we evaluate the loan modifications under our existing TDR framework, and where such a loan modification would result in a concession to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty, the loan will be accounted for as a TDR and will generally not accrue interest. The following table summarizes the recorded investment of TDRs in the unaudited interim consolidated balance sheet by loan type as of the unaudited interim consolidated balance sheet dates.

(b) Represents the September 30, 2020 carrying values of the TDRs that occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 that remained in default as of September 30, 2020. Generally, all loans modified in a TDR are placed or remain on non-accrual status at the time of the restructuring. However, certain accruing loans modified in a TDR that are current at the time of restructuring may remain on accrual status if payment in full under the restructured terms is expected. For purposes of this schedule, a loan is considered in default if it is 30 or more days past due.
