The primary driver for the higher reserve balance is the change in economic outlook since the end of the prior year. During the quarter ended June 30, 2022, the Company identified a commercial mortgage loan, held for investment secured by a portfolio of 24 retail properties, that was assigned a risk rating of “5” due to certain conditions that negatively impacted the underlying collateral property’s cash flows. Since the loan was considered a collateral-dependent asset under GAAP, a specific allowance for credit losses of $28.4 million was recorded based on the difference between the Company’s estimation of the fair value of the underlying collateral property, less costs to sell, and the loan’s amortized cost basis. As of June 30, 2022, the loan has a fully funded outstanding principal balance of $113.2 million, and an amortized cost of $82.2 million. The significant unobservable inputs to the discounted cash flow model used to estimate the fair value of the loan included a capitalization rate, which ranged from 5.25%-5.50%.

Non-performing Status The following table presents the beginning and ending amortized cost basis of the loans on nonaccrual status as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 (dollars in thousands): June 30, 2022 December 31, 2021 Non-performing loan carrying value at beginning of period $ 57,075 $ 94,887 Addition of non-performing loan carrying value 110,626 — Less: Removal of non-performing loan carrying value — 37,812 Non-performing loan carrying value at end of period $ 167,701 $ 57,075 As of June 30, 2022, the Company had two loans with a total amortized cost basis of $167.7 million designated as non-performing status. One loan is for a hotel property located in New York, NY, which was placed on non-accrual status in 2019 and had an amortized cost basis of $57.1 million as of June 30, 2022. No specific allowance for credit losses has been recorded on the loan. The Company did not recognize any interest income on the non-accrual loan during the quarter ended June 30, 2022. In addition, during the quarter ended June 30, 2022, the Company originated a loan with a fully funded outstanding principal balance of $113.2 million collateralized by a portfolio of retail properties in various locations throughout the United States. The loan has been assigned a risk rating of “5” and concurrently, the Company elected to apply a practical expedient for collateral dependent assets in which the allowance for credit losses is calculated as the difference between the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral, less estimated cost to sell, and the amortized cost basis of the individual loan. At June 30, 2022, the Company recorded a specific allowance for credit losses of $28.4 million on the loan. Further, during the quarter ended June 30, 2022, the Company designated the loan as non-performing and placed the loan on cost recovery status by ceasing the recognition of interest income. Any contractual amounts received are accounted for under the cost-recovery method, until the loan qualifies for return to accrual status. During the quarter ended June 30, 2022, the Company received $1.2 million in interest on this loan which reduces the amortized cost of the loan. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had one loan, the hotel property in New York City, with a carrying value of $57.1 million, designated as non-performing, which had no specific allowance for credit losses. Credit Characteristics As part of the Company's process for monitoring the credit quality of its commercial mortgage loans, excluding those held for sale, measured at fair value, it performs a quarterly loan portfolio assessment and assigns risk ratings to each of its loans. The loans are scored on a scale of 1 to 5 as follows: Investment Rating Summary Description 1 Very Low Risk - Investment exceeding fundamental performance expectations and/or capital gain expected. Trends and risk factors since time of investment are favorable. 2 Low Risk - Performing consistent with expectations and a full return of principal and interest expected. Trends and risk factors are neutral to favorable. 3 Average Risk - Performing investments requiring closer monitoring. Trends and risk factors show some deterioration. 4 High Risk/Delinquent/Potential For Loss - Underperforming investment with the potential of some interest loss but still expecting a positive return on investment. Trends and risk factors are negative. 5 Impaired/Defaulted/Loss Likely - Underperforming investment with expected loss of interest and some principal. All commercial mortgage loans, excluding loans classified as commercial mortgage loans, held for sale, measured at fair value within the consolidated balance sheets, are assigned an initial risk rating of 2. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the weighted average risk rating of the loans was 2.1.
