Loans | NOTE 4 – LOANS Loans generally are funded at a fixed interest rate with a loan term of up to five years. Loans acquired are generally done so within the first six months of origination and are purchased at par value, which approximates fair value. See Note 3 (General Partners and Other Related Parties) for a description of loans transferred by executed assignments between the related mortgage funds. The partnership’s loans are all secured by real estate in coastal California metropolitan areas, which is a strategic market. The portfolio segments are first and second trust deeds mortgages and the key credit quality indicator is the LTV ratio. First mortgages are predominant, but second lien deeds of trust are not infrequent nor insignificant. First-mortgage loans comprised 95 % of the portfolio at March 31, 2023 ( 93 % at December 31, 2022). Secured loans unpaid principal balance (principal) Secured loan transactions for the three months ended March 31 are summarized in the following table ($ in thousands). 2023 Total First Trust Deeds Second Trust Deeds Principal, beginning of period $ 60,088 $ 55,803 $ 4,285 Loans funded 5,700 4,200 1,500 Principal collected ( 3,853 ) ( 2,749 ) ( 1,104 ) Loans transferred to related mortgage fund ( 3,956 ) ( 2,024 ) ( 1,932 ) Principal, end of period $ 57,979 $ 55,230 $ 2,749 During the three months ended March 31, 2023 , the partnership extended one maturing loan with aggregated principal of approximately $ 1.3 million, which is not included in the activity shown in the table above. The loan was extended for one year , and was current and deemed well collateralized (i.e., the LTV for the collateral was within lending guidelines). Interest rates charged to borrowers may be adjusted in conjunction with the loan extensions to reflect current market conditions. As of March 31, 2023 , there were no commitments to lend outstanding and no construction or rehabilitation loans outstanding.

In conjunction with the adoption of ASC 326 (CECL), the partnership changed its guidelines for non-accrual status and recognized a cumulative-effect adjustment (with an increase to partners’ capital) of $ 233 thousand to recognize previously foregone interest for loans designated non-accrual at December 31, 2022. In periods prior to January 1, 2023, loans were placed on non-accrual status if 180 days delinquent or earlier if management determined that the primary source of repayment would 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 was no longer considered well-secured. Provision/allowance for credit losses Activity in the allowance for credit losses for the three months ended March 31 is presented in the following table ($ in thousands). 2023 2022 Principal and Advances Interest Total Principal and Advances Interest Total Balance, December 31 $ 30 $ 25 $ 55 $ 30 $ 25 $ 55 Adoption of ASC 326 (CECL) 30 35 65 — — — Balance, January 1 60 60 120 30 25 55 Provision (recovery) for credit losses — — — — — — Charge-offs — — — — — — Balance, March 31 $ 60 $ 60 $ 120 $ 30 $ 25 $ 55 Each secured loan is reviewed quarterly for its delinquency, LTV adjusted for the most recent valuation of the underlying collateral, remaining term to maturity, borrower’s payment history and other factors. In periods prior to January 1, 2023, the partnership followed the incurred loss model for recognition of credit losses and had recorded an allowance for loan losses of principal and interest totaling approximately $ 55 thousand to cover incurred, but not known, eventualities that occur from time to time, even though the secured loans had protective equity such that collection was deemed probable for all recorded amounts due on the loan. Such eventualities include the manager deeming it in the best interest of the partnership to agree to concessions to borrowers and/or senior-lien lenders to facilitate a refinance or a sale of the collateral primarily for secured loans in second lien position. In conjunction with the adoption of ASC 326 (CECL), the partnership recognized a cumulative-effect adjustment (with a decrease to partners’ capital) of $ 65 thousand to the allowance for credit losses to recognize lifetime expected credit losses for secured loans at December 31, 2022. The limited number of loans (16) – aided by the fact that four (4) of the loans comprise a significant portion of loan principal (approximately $ 32.1 million of the $ 58 million of loan principal) and the short terms for which the loans are written - enabled the manager to do a loan-by-loan analysis to determine the risk of loss. The analysis included projecting the outstanding principal for loans – individually and in total, by lien position – until maturity to determine the count, amount and weighted average LTV of the loans for future quarter and year ends. First Trust Deeds Second Trust Deeds Loans Principal LTV (9) Loans Principal LTV (9) Loans Principal LTV (9) 2023 (8) 8 $ 30,232 36.7 % 6 $ 27,483 36.4 % 2 $ 2,749 40.2 % 2024 4 22,619 47.0 3 21,369 46.0 1 1,250 63.6 2025 3 13,619 37.8 2 12,369 35.2 1 1,250 63.6 2026 2 12,369 35.2 2 12,369 35.2 — — 0.0 2027 — — 0.0 — — 0.0 — — 0.0 (8) For purposes of this analysis, loans past maturity as of March 31, 2023 , and loans subsequently maturing are expected to be paid by the calendar year end. (9) The LTVs shown in this table are updated for any appraisals ordered and received by the manager after origination of the loan. As indicated by the tables above, there is no future period covered in the analysis – nor is there any individual loan – in which a real estate market decline in values is likely to occur that would be sufficient to offset the substantial protective equity in the secured-loan portfolio (and in the individual loans) sufficient to put at risk collection of amounts owed under the notes, secured by the deeds of trust. In arriving at the determination, the manager consulted a range of banking/industry and academic studies and forecasts. In performing the analysis, the manager considered the vintages in which the secured loans originated. The ultimate collectability of the amounts owed is reliant on the estimation of the fair value of the real property collateral securing the loans. Such estimation is not variant by vintage. Further there is no evidence, nor any indication in the analysis, that the ultimate collectability of the amounts owed fluctuates with the time on file or vintage. Such considerations are consistent with the ‘no-credit-losses’ experience of the partnership over the preceding 5+ years.
