Allowance for Credit Loss

The Current Expected Credit Losses ("CECL") reserve required under ASU 2016-13 “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses – Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (Topic 326)” (“ASU 2016-13”) reflects the Company's estimate as of the balance sheet date of potential credit losses related to its loan portfolio. Changes to the CECL reserve are recognized through a provision for or reversal of current expected credit loss reserve on the Company's consolidated statements of operations. The reserve is based on relevant information about past events, including historical loss experience, current loan portfolio, market conditions and reasonable and supportable macroeconomic forecasts for the duration of each loan. The Company has elected to apply the practical expedient to exclude accrued interest receivable from the amortized cost basis of the receivables.

The Company considers key credit quality indicators in underwriting loans and estimating credit losses, including: the capitalization of borrowers and sponsors; the expertise of the sponsors in a particular real estate sector and geographic market; collateral type; geographic region; use and occupancy of the property; property market value; loan amount and lien position; industry risk rating for the same and similar loans; and prior experience with the sponsor. Such analyses are completed and reviewed by asset management personnel and evaluated by senior management on a quarterly basis, utilizing various data sources. Ultimate repayment of the loans referenced in note 6 is sensitive to interest rate changes, general economic conditions, liquidity, existence of an active sales market for properties, and availability of replacement financing.

Adjustments to the allowance are recorded on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations as "Provision for credit loss". If the Company determines that a loan or a portion of the loan is uncollectible, it will write off the uncollectible portion of the loan through an adjustment to its CECL allowance based on the net present value of expected future cash flows. Write-offs are recorded in the period in which the loan balance is deemed uncollectible based on management’s judgment.
