Non-performing loans are placed on non-accrual status if 180 days delinquent or earlier if management determines that the primary source of repayment will come from the foreclosure and subsequent sale of the collateral securing the loan (which usually occurs when a notice of sale is filed) or when the loan is no longer considered well-secured. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, the accrual of interest is discontinued for accounting purposes only (i.e., foregone interest in the table above); however, previously recorded interest is not reversed. At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there were no loans 90 or more days past due and not in non-accrual status. Provision/allowance for loan losses and impaired loans Generally, the partnership has not recorded an allowance for loan losses as all loans have protective equity such that collection is deemed probable for all recorded amounts due on the loan. From time to time, the manager may deem it in the best interest of the partnership to agree to concessions to borrowers to facilitate a sale of collateral or refinance transactions primarily for secured loans in second lien position.
