The borrower pledged 125,832 Class A Units as additional collateral for this loan. Current Expected Credit Losses The Company is exposed to credit losses primarily through its mezzanine lending activities. As of March 31, 2020, the Company had five mezzanine loans, all of which are secured by second liens on development projects in various stages of completion or lease-up. Each of these projects is subject to a loan that is senior to the Company’s mezzanine loan. Interest on these loans is paid in kind and is generally not expected to be paid until a sale of the project after completion of the development. The Company's management performs a quarterly analysis of the loan portfolio to determine the risk of credit loss based on the progress of development activities including leasing activities, projected development costs, and current and projected mezzanine and senior construction loan balances. The Company estimates future losses on its notes receivable using risk ratings that correspond to probabilities of default and loss given default. The Company's risk ratings are as follows: • Pass: loans in this category are adequately collateralized by a development project with conditions materially consistent with the Company's underwriting assumptions. • Special Mention: loans in this category show signs that the economic performance of the project may suffer as a result of slower-than-expected leasing activity or an extended development or marketing timeline. Loans in this category warrant increased monitoring by management. • Substandard: loans in this category may not be fully collected by the Company unless remediation actions are taken. Remediation actions may include obtaining additional collateral or assisting the borrower with asset management activities to prepare the project for sale. The Company may also consider placing the loan on non-accrual status if it does not believe that additional interest accruals will ultimately be collected. On a quarterly basis, the Company compares the risk inherent in its loans to industry loan loss data experienced during past business cycles. The Company updated the risk ratings for each of its notes receivable during the three months ended March 31, 2020. The Company obtained industry loan loss data relative to these risk ratings as of December 31, 2019. The following table presents amortized cost basis of the portfolio by year of origination and risk rating as of March 31, 2020 (in thousands): Year of Origination Risk Ratings 2020 2019 2018 2017 2016 Total Pass $ — $ — $ 120,495 $ — $ — $ 120,495 Special Mention — — — — — — Substandard — — — 14,839 42,150 56,989 Total amortized cost basis $ — $ — $ 120,495 $ 14,839 $ 42,150 $ 177,484 As of December 31, 2019 , there was no allowance for loan losses.

As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, there were no loans on non-accrual status.
