Note 5. Finance Receivables

 

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.

 

Notes Receivable

 

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 both March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the principal balance of the note receivable was $40.0 million.

 

Credit Quality of Finance Receivables

 

We generally seek investments in facilities that we believe are critical to each tenant's business and that we believe have a low risk of tenant defaults. At both March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, 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 during the three months ended March 31, 2013. 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 first quarter of 2013.

 

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