Credit Quality Monitoring

        CRE debt investments are typically first mortgage loans secured by direct senior priority liens on real estate properties or by interests in entities that directly own real estate properties, which serve as the primary source of cash for the payment of principal and interest. The Company evaluates its debt investments at least quarterly and differentiates the relative credit quality principally based upon: (i) whether the borrower is currently paying contractual debt service in accordance with its contractual terms, and (ii) whether the Company believes the borrower will be able to perform under its contractual terms in the future, as well as the Company's expectations as to the ultimate recovery of principal at maturity.

        The Company categorizes a debt investment for which it expects to receive full payment of contractual principal and interest payments as "performing." The Company will categorize a weaker credit quality debt investment that is currently performing, but for which it believes future collection of all or some portion of principal and interest is in doubt, into a category called "performing with a loan loss reserve." The Company will categorize a weaker credit quality debt investment that is not performing, which the Company defines as a loan in maturity default and/or is past due at least 90 days on its contractual debt service payments, as a non-performing loan ("NPL"). The Company's definition of an NPL may differ from that of other companies that track NPLs.

        As of March 31, 2013, all CRE debt investments were performing in accordance with the terms of the loan agreements and were categorized as performing loans. For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, two and four, respectively, CRE debt investments contributed more than 10% of interest income.
