Assets representing rights to receive money on demand or at fixed or determinable dates are referred to as finance receivables. Our finance receivable portfolios consist of our Net investments in direct financing leases and notes receivable. Operating leases are not included in finance receivables as such amounts are not recognized as an asset in the consolidated balance sheets.

In April 2011, we entered into a domestic net lease financing transaction with Flanders Corporation for $50.8 million, including acquisition-related fees and expenses. In connection with this investment, which was deemed to be a real estate asset acquisition under current authoritative accounting guidance, we capitalized acquisition-related fees and expenses of $2.3 million.

In December 2010, we provided financing of $40.0 million to China Alliance Properties Limited, a subsidiary of Shanghai Forte Land, Co., Ltd (“Forte”). The financing was provided through a collateralized loan that is guaranteed by Forte's parent company, Fosun International Limited, and has an interest rate of 11% and matures in December 2015. At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the balance of the note receivable was $40.0 million.

During the first quarter of 2011, our participation in the limited-recourse mortgage loan related to our New York Times venture was repaid in full in connection with the refinancing of this loan (Note 9). At December 31, 2010, the balance of the note receivable was $49.6 million.

In June 2011, we provided financing of $30.0 million to a developer, BPS Partners, LLC (“BPS”), in connection with the construction of a shopping center, which includes a Walgreens store, in Las Vegas, Nevada. In connection with the loan, we received an option to purchase the second floor of the Walgreens store or to exchange the $30.0 million loan for an equity interest in BPS. This loan is secured by the property and personally guaranteed by each of the principals of BPS, has an annual interest rate of 0.5% and matures in September 2013. On its maturity date, if we do not elect to exchange the loan for an equity interest in BPS, we will receive additional interest at an annual rate of 7.5% from inception through maturity as consideration for making the loan. At June 30, 2011, the balance of this note receivable was $30.0 million.

We generally seek investments in facilities that are critical to the tenant's business and that we believe have a low risk of tenants' defaults. At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, none of the balances of our finance receivables were past due and we had not established any allowances for credit losses. Additionally, there have been no modifications of finance receivables. We evaluate the credit quality of our tenant receivables utilizing an internal 5-point credit rating scale, with 1 representing the highest credit quality and 5 representing the lowest. The credit quality evaluation of our tenant receivables was last updated in the second quarter of 2011.

A summary of our finance receivables by internal credit quality rating is as follows (dollars in thousands):
