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 typically 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 typically 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 at origination 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. As of June 30, 2022, the weighted average term of our active loans was 18 months at origination, which we often elect to extend for several months, based on our evaluation of the expected timeline for completion of construction. All loans require monthly interest only payments, with our weighted average interest rate on our portfolio being 10.2 % as of June 30, 2022 . Most loans are structured with an interest reserve holdback that covers the interest payments for 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 the outstanding balance of mortgage notes receivable as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021: (dollars in thousands) June 30, 2022 December 31, 2021 Total loan commitments $ 1,600,686 $ 1,489,055 Less: Construction holdbacks 578,492 524,462 Interest reserves 43,648 39,880 Total principal outstanding for our mortgage notes receivable 978,546 924,713 Less: Allowance for credit losses (1) 9,526 10,394 Deferred origination and amendment fees 11,794 12,969 Mortgage notes receivable, net $ 957,226 $ 901,350 (1) As of June 30, 2022, $ 1.4 million of the 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. In certain instances, where the interest reserve on a current loan has been fully depleted and the interest payment is not expected to be collected from the borrower, we may place a current loan on non-accrual status and recognize interest income on a cash-basis where principal collection is not in doubt. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the principal outstanding on loans in contractual default status placed on non-accrual status was $ 91.7 and $ 101.9 million, respectively. In accordance with our CECL methodology, all loans including those on non-accrual status have an allowance for credit losses. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the total commitment on loans in contractual default was $ 248.4 and $ 191.4 million, respectively. 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 its portfolio and the historical loss experience in the commercial real estate industry provided by a third party adjusted to incorporate the risks of construction lending and to reflect our expectations of the macroeconomic environment based on forecast data per the Federal Reserve.

(2) CECL allowance related to unfunded commitments is presented as a liability under accounts payable and accrued liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheet. In determining our CECL allowance, we segment loans with similar characteristics. All of our loans are 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.
