Investment in Sponsored REITs:

At each of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company held a non-controlling common stock interest in two Sponsored REITs in which the Company no longer shares in economic benefit or risk. Equity in income of investments in non-consolidated REITs were derived from the Company’s share of income or loss in the operations of those entities and included gain or loss on liquidation. The Company exercised influence over, but did not control these entities, and investments were accounted for using the equity method.

Management fees and interest income from loans:

Asset management fees range from 1% to 5% of collected rents and the applicable contracts are cancellable with 30 days notice. Asset management fee income from non-consolidated entities amounted to approximately $21,000 and $58,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

From time to time the Company may make secured loans (“Sponsored REIT Loans”) to Sponsored REITs in the form of mortgage loans or revolving lines of credit to fund construction costs, capital expenditures, leasing costs and for other purposes. The Company reviews the need for an allowance under CECL for Sponsored REIT Loans each reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates the extent and impact of any credit deterioration that could affect performance and the value of the secured property, as well as the financial and operating capability of the borrower. A property’s operating results and existing cash balances are considered and used to assess whether cash flows from operations are sufficient to cover the current and future operating and debt service requirements. The Company also evaluates the borrower’s competency in managing and operating the secured property and considers the overall economic environment, real estate sector and geographic sub-market in which the secured property is located. The Company applies normal loan review and underwriting procedures (as may be implemented or modified from time to time) in making that judgment. The Company has evaluated the credit loss using a loss probability, loss given default model and determined that the expected credit loss on the Sponsored REIT Loan is immaterial.

The Company anticipates that each Sponsored REIT Loan will be repaid at maturity or earlier from refinancing, long term financings of the underlying properties, cash flows from the underlying properties or some other capital event. Each Sponsored REIT Loan is secured by a mortgage on the underlying property and has a term of approximately one to three years. The mortgage loan bears interest at a fixed rate.
