FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

9 Months Ended

Sep. 30, 2020

The following table presents information about our financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. In instances in which the inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, we classify assets and liabilities based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

Disclosures concerning financial instruments measured at fair value are as follows (in thousands):

Our Purchase Options related to real estate loans do not have readily determinable fair values. The original fair value of each Purchase Option was estimated using a binomial lattice or Black-Scholes model. Due to the adverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, we evaluated our Purchase Options for impairment during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The fair value of each Purchase Option was estimated using the Black-Scholes model. The estimated fair values of the Purchase Options were based on unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market information available and required us to develop our own assumptions as follows (dollar amounts in thousands):


	Real Estate Loan 1				Real Estate Loan 2				Real Estate Loan 3				Real Estate Loan 4
Exercise price	$	15,143			$	17,377			$	5,503			$	37,800

(1)The purchase option is currently exercisable.

(2)The option term is the period from April 1, 2020 through the fully extended maturity dates of the respective mezzanine loans.

(3)The option term is the period from April 1, 2020 through the date in which the development project is completed and the option becomes exercisable.
