Mortgage Notes Receivable | Note 3 - Mortgage Notes Receivable The stated principal amount of mortgage notes receivable in our portfolio represents our interest in loans secured by first deeds of trust, security agreements or legal title to real estate located in the United States. Our lending standards require that all mortgage notes receivable be secured by a first deed of trust lien on real estate and that the maximum loan to value ratio (“LTV”) be no greater than 65 %. The LTV is calculated on an “as-complete” appraised value of the underlying collateral as determined by an independent appraiser at the time of the loan origination. The lending standards also limit the initial outstanding principal balance of the loan to a maximum LTV of up to 65% of the “as-is” appraised value of the underlying collateral as determined by an independent appraiser at the time of the loan origination. Unless otherwise indicated, LTV is measured by the total commitment amount of the loan divided by the “as-complete” appraisal. LTVs do not reflect interim loan activity such as construction draws or interest payments capitalized to loans, or partial repayments of the loan. The maximum amount of a single loan may not exceed 10 % of our total assets and the maximum amount to a single borrower may not exceed 15 % of our total assets. We consider the maximum LTV as an indicator for the credit quality of a mortgage note receivable. Mortgage notes receivable are considered to be short-term financings, with initial terms typically ranging from five to 18 months in duration based on the size of the project and expected timeline for completion of construction, which we often elect to extend for several months based on our evaluation of the project. All loans require monthly interest only payments and interest rates generally range from a fixed annual rate of 10 % to 13 %. Most loans are structured with an interest reserve holdback that covers the interest payments for most of the initial term of the loan. Once the interest reserve is depleted, borrowers are expected to pay their monthly interest payment within 10 days of month end. Mortgage notes receivable are presented net of construction holdbacks, interest reserves, allowance for credit losses and deferred origination and amendment fee income in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The construction holdback represents amounts withheld from the funding of construction loans until we deem construction to be sufficiently completed. The interest reserve represents amounts withheld from the funding of certain mortgage notes receivable for the purpose of satisfying monthly interest payments over all or part of the term of the related note. Accrued interest is paid out of the interest reserve and recognized as interest income at the end of each month. The deferred origination and amendment fee income represents amounts that will be recognized over the contractual life of the underlying mortgage notes receivable. The following table reconciles outstanding mortgage loan commitments to outstanding balance of mortgage notes receivable as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020: (dollars in thousands) June 30, 2021 December 31, 2020 Total loan commitments $ 1,328,556 $ 1,245,963 Less: Construction holdbacks (1) 412,751 356,026 Interest reserves (1) 35,600 29,817 Private REIT participation (2) 41,427 37,729 Total principal outstanding for our mortgage notes receivable 838,778 822,391 Less: Allowance for credit losses (3) 10,943 10,590 Deferred origination and amendment fees 13,381 13,315 Mortgage notes receivable, net $ 814,454 $ 798,486 (1) Includes construction holdbacks of $ 34.7 and $ 40.4 million and interest reserves of $ 2.6 and $ 4.3 million on participating interests sold to the Private REIT as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. (2) The Private REIT’s participations in loans originated by us meet the characteristics of participating interests and the criterion for sale accounting and therefore, are derecognized from our condensed consolidated financial statements. (3) As of June 30, 2021, $ 0.7 million of the CECL Allowance is excluded from this table because it relates to unfunded commitments and has been recorded as a liability under accounts payable and accrued liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheet. Non-accrual Status As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the principal outstanding on loans in contractual default status placed on non-accrual status was $ 155.3 and $ 126.8 million, respectively, and all non-accrual loans had an allowance for credit losses. Current Expected Credit Losses In assessing the CECL allowance, we consider historical loss experience, current conditions, and a reasonable and supportable forecast of the macroeconomic environment. We derived an annual historical loss rate based on the Company’s historical loss experience in our portfolio and historical loss experience in the commercial real estate industry provided by a third party adjusted to reflect our expectations of the macroeconomic environment based on forecast data per the Federal Reserve.

(2) CECL Allowance relates to unfunded commitments is presented as a liability under accounts payable and accrued liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheet. (3) Recorded as a direct charge to stockholders’ equity as a cumulative-effect of change in accounting principle. In determining our CECL allowance, we segment loans with similar characteristics. All of our loans are construction loans secured by residential or commercial real estate and, in assessing estimated credit losses, we evaluate various metrics, including, but not limited to, construction type, collateral type, LTV, market conditions of property location and borrower experience and financial strength.
