Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block] | 3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Use of Estimates The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Offering Costs Underwriting commissions and offering costs incurred in connection with the Company’s stock offerings are reflected as a reduction of additional paid-in capital. Offering costs represent professional fees, fees paid to various regulatory agencies, and other costs incurred in connection with the registration and sale of the Company’s common stock. Organization Costs Costs incurred to organize the Company are expensed as incurred. Fair Value Measurement Under FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measures and Disclosures,” the fair value of financial instruments will be categorized based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique and categorized into a three-level fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). If the inputs used to measure the financial instruments fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument. Financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on the balance sheet will be categorized based on the inputs to the valuation techniques as follows: Level 1 Quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market. Level 2 Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on the following: (i) Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; (ii) Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in non-active markets; (iii) Pricing models whose inputs are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Level 3 Prices or valuation techniques based on inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. As of December 31, 2014, the Company’s only financial instrument was cash, and as of June 30, 2015, the Company’s financial instruments consisted of cash, restricted cash, originated loans, receivables and payables. The fair value of the financial instruments was estimated to approximate their respective carrying amounts. The carrying values of cash, restricted cash, receivables and payables approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature. These instruments are categorized as Level 1 instruments in the measurement of fair value. The loans are categorized as Level 3 instruments in the measurement of fair value. The carrying value of loans approximates their fair values. To determine estimated fair values of the loans, market rates of interest, which include credit assumptions, are used to discount contractual cash flows. Restricted Cash The Company’s restricted cash balance includes customer due diligence deposits made in advance of prospective loan closings, as well as borrower funds retained for future loan related expenses. Under term sheets and loan agreements with prospective borrowers, the Company is permitted to utilize such deposits to pay third party (plan review, inspection, environmental, appraisal and legal) costs incurred by the Company in the due diligence or closing of loans. Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are stated at the amount of unpaid principal and are net of unearned discount, unearned loan fees and an allowance for loan losses. The allowance for loan losses will be established through a provision for loan losses charged to expense in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Topic Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 310, “Receivables.” Loan principal considered to be uncollectible by management is charged against the allowance for loan losses. The allowance will be an amount that management believes will be adequate to absorb probable losses on existing loans that may become uncollectible based upon an evaluation of known and inherent risks in the loan portfolio. The evaluation will take into consideration such factors as changes in the nature and size of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality, specific problem loans and current economic conditions which may affect the borrowers’ ability to pay. In connection with the Company’s lending activities, management may also originate certain acquisition, development, and construction loans with certain participation arrangements that will be accounted for under FASB ASC Topic 310-10-25, Receivables. Interest income will accrue as earned on a simple interest basis. Accrual of interest will be discontinued on a loan when management believes, after considering economic and business conditions and collection efforts, that the borrower’s financial condition is such that collection of interest is doubtful. The Company will recognize income on impaired loans when they are placed into non-accrual status on a cash basis when the loans are both current and the collateral on the loan is sufficient to cover the outstanding obligation to the Company. If these factors do not exist, the Company will not recognize income on such loans. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, all accumulated accrued interest receivable applicable to periods prior to the current year is charged off to the allowance for loan losses. Interest that had accrued in the current year is reversed out of current period income. The allowance for loan losses will represent management’s estimate of losses inherent in the loan portfolio as of the balance sheet date and is recorded as a reduction to loans. The allowance for loan losses will be increased by the provision for loan losses, and decreased by charge-offs, net of recoveries. Loans deemed to be uncollectible are charged against the allowance for loan losses, and subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. All, or part, of the principal balance of loans receivable will be charged off to the allowance as soon as it is determined that the repayment of all, or part, of the principal balance is highly unlikely. The evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses includes, among other factors, an analysis of historical loss rates and environmental factors by category, applied to current loan totals. However, actual losses may be higher or lower than historical trends, which vary. Actual losses on specified problem loans, which also are provided for in the evaluation, may vary from those estimated loss percentages, which are established based upon a limited number of potential loss classifications. A loan will be considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the loan will not be collected according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors to be considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Impairment will be measured on a loan by loan basis for all impaired loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. An allowance for loan losses will be established for an impaired loan if its carrying value exceeds its estimated fair value. The estimated fair values of substantially all of the Company’s impaired loans are measured based on the estimated fair value of the loan’s collateral. The Company has determined that an allowance for loan losses was not necessary at June 30, 2015. Origination Fees and Costs The Company offsets its loan origination fee with its related direct loan origination costs and the net amount is deferred and recognized as an adjustment to loan yield in interest income as required by ASC 310. These direct loan costs only include the salaries and benefits required to evaluate, negotiate, prepare, process and close a loan transaction. The direct loan origination costs were determined by examining the average salaries of the loan personnel of the Manager, and by examining the average hours required by the loan personnel to evaluate negotiate, prepare, process and close a loan. Employees’ compensation and fringe benefits related to unsuccessful loan origination efforts and other lending-related costs are charged to expense as incurred. Derivative Instruments The Company may use derivative financial instruments to hedge all or a portion of the interest rate risk associated with its borrowings. Certain of the techniques used to hedge exposure to interest rate fluctuations may also be used to protect against declines in the market value of assets that result from general trends in debt markets. The principal objective of such agreements is to minimize the risks and/or costs associated with the Company’s operating and financial structure as well as to hedge specific anticipated transactions. In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging,” management will measure each derivative instrument (including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts) at fair value and record such amounts in the Company’s balance sheet as either an asset or liability. For derivatives designated as fair value hedges, derivatives not designated as hedges, or for derivatives designated as cash flow hedges associated with debt for which management elected the fair value option under FASB ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments”, the changes in fair value of the derivative instrument will be recorded in earnings. For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the changes in the fair value of the effective portions of the derivative will be reported in other comprehensive income. Changes in the ineffective portions of cash flow hedges will be recognized in earnings. As of June 30, 2015, the Company had not entered into any derivative instruments. Variable Interest Entities A Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”) is an entity that lacks one or more of the characteristics of a voting interest entity. A VIE is defined as an entity in which equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. The determination of whether an entity is a VIE includes both a qualitative and quantitative analysis. Management will base the qualitative analysis on its review of the design of the entity, its organizational structure including decision-making ability and relevant financial agreements and the quantitative analysis on the forecasted cash flow of the entity. Management will reassess the initial evaluation of an entity as a VIE upon the occurrence of certain reconsideration events. A VIE must be consolidated only by its primary beneficiary, which is defined as the party who, along with its affiliates and agents has both the: (i) power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and (ii) obligation to absorb the losses of the VIE or the right to receive the benefits from the VIE, which could be significant to the VIE. Management will determine whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of a VIE by considering qualitative and quantitative factors, including, but not limited to: which activities most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and which party controls such activities; the amount and characteristics of its investment; the obligation or likelihood for the Company or other interests to provide financial support; consideration of the VIE’s purpose and design, including the risks the VIE was designed to create and pass through to its variable interest holders and the similarity with and significance to the Company’s business activities and the other interests. Management reassesses the determination of whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of a VIE each reporting period. Significant judgments related to these determinations include estimates about the current and future fair value and performance of investments held by these VIEs and general market conditions. Management will analyze and evaluate new investments and financings to determine whether they are a VIE, as well as reconsideration events for existing investments and financings, which may vary depending on type of investment or financing. As of June 30, 2015, the Company had no financings or investments with entities that are VIEs. Equity Investments The Company may report certain limited portions of its investments as investments in joint ventures. Investments in joint ventures and entities over which the Company exercises significant influence but not control are accounted for using the equity method as prescribed by FASB ASC 323-30, Investments Equity Method and Joint Ventures, Partnerships, Joint Ventures, and Limited Liability Entities Recent Accounting Pronouncements In January 2014, the FASB issued an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-04, ReceivablesTroubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors (Sub Topic 310-40)Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans Upon Foreclosure. This ASU clarifies when an in substance repossession or foreclosure occurs and requires disclosure of the amount of foreclosed residential real estate property held by the creditor and the recorded investment in consumer mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate property that are in the process of foreclosure. ASU 2014-04 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on future results of operations or financial condition. In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-10, Development Stage Entities: Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements, Including Amendment to Variable Interest Entities Guidelines in Topic 810, Consolidation. The standard will eliminate the reporting requirements for certain disclosures for development stage entities. Public entities are required to apply the presentation and disclosure requirements for annual reporting periods effective January 1, 2015. The Company has adopted this guidance effective April 1, 2015, and it did not have a material impact on the reporting of results of operations or financial condition. In February 2015, the FASB issued guidance that requires an entity to evaluate whether they should consolidate certain legal entities. All legal entities are subject to reevaluation under the revised consolidation model. Specifically, the amendments: (1) modify the evaluation of whether limited partnerships and similar legal entities are variable interest entities (VIEs) or voting interest entities; (2) eliminate the presumption that a general partner should consolidate a limited partnership; (3) affect the consolidation analysis of reporting entities that are involved with VIEs, particularly those that have fee arrangements and related party relationships; (4) provide a scope exception from consolidation guidance for reporting entities with interests in legal entities that are required to comply with or operate in accordance with requirements that are similar to those in Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 for registered money market funds. This guidance is effective for public business entities for fiscal years and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect adoption will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. In April 2015, the FASB issued guidance that simplifies presentation of debt issuance costs by requiring that debt issuance costs be presented in the balance sheet as a deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability, consistent with debt discount or premiums. The recognition guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by amendments in this update, which is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company does not expect adoption will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. Segment Reporting The Company does not evaluate performance on a relationship specific or transactional basis and does not distinguish its principal business or group its operations on a geographical basis for purposes of measuring performance. Accordingly, the Company believes it has a single operating segment for reporting purposes in accordance with GAAP. Income Taxes The Company intends to elect to be taxed as a REIT and to comply with the related provisions of the Code commencing with its taxable year ending December 31, 2015. Accordingly, the Company will generally not be subject to U.S. federal income tax to the extent of its distributions to stockholders and as long as certain asset, income and share ownership tests are met. The Company expects to have no taxable income prior to electing REIT status. To qualify as a REIT, the Company must annually distribute at least 90% of its REIT taxable income to its stockholders and meet certain other requirements. Comprehensive Income For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, comprehensive income equaled net income; therefore, a separate consolidated statement of comprehensive income is not included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. |
