Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

For the period from January 1, 2019 through November 15, 2019, the accompanying consolidated financial statements do not represent the financial position and results of operations of one controlling legal entity, but rather a combination of the historical results of the Predecessor Company Group, which was under common management. Therefore, any reference herein to the Predecessor financial statements are made on a combined basis. For periods from November 15, 2019 on, the principles of consolidation accompanying consolidated financial statements represent the consolidated financial statements of the Company, beginning with BRELF II as the accounting acquirer and successor entity. In addition, as a result of the Business Combination, the consolidated financial statements for periods from November 15, 2019 on, are presented on a new basis of accounting pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 805, Business Combinations (refer to Note 3) to reflect BRELF II acquiring the other entities within the Predecessor Company Group and Trinity in the successor period.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include Broadmark Realty Capital Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

Principles of Consolidation

For the Predecessor period, all significant intra-entity accounts, balances, and transactions have been eliminated in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. All significant intercompany accounts, balances, and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Broadmark Realty consolidates those entities in which it has control over significant operating, financial and investing decisions of the entity, as well as those entities deemed to be variable interest entities (“VIEs”), if any, in which Broadmark Realty is determined to be the primary beneficiary. Broadmark Realty is not the primary beneficiary of, and therefore does not consolidate, any VIEs in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

The Private REIT was determined to be a voting interest entity for which we, through our wholly-owned subsidiary who previously acted as manager with no significant equity investment, did not hold a controlling interest in and, therefore, did not consolidate. Furthermore, the Private REIT's participation in loans originated by us met the characteristics of a participating interest and the criterion for sale accounting in accordance with GAAP and therefore, was derecognized from our consolidated financial statements. The Private REIT was liquidated in August 2021 and all participations in mortgage notes receivable held by the Private REIT were purchased for cash by the Company at the settlement value which approximated fair value.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in our consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020 have been reclassified to conform to the presentation of our current period consolidated financial statements. These reclassifications had no effect on our previously reported net income or stockholders’ equity. The reclassifications include reclassifying certain board member expenses from compensation expense into general and administrative expense on the consolidated statements of income. The reclassification for the change in receivables due from the Private REIT from other assets to mortgage notes receivables resulted in an immaterial adjustment of the totals for net cash provided by operating activities and net cash provided by investing activities, both as previously reported. The reclassifications also included the separate presentation of amortization of right of use assets and change in lease liabilities and the combined presentation of depreciation and amortization on the consolidated statements of cash flows.

Correction of Immaterial Error

In the course of preparing our second quarter 2021 consolidated financial statements, we revisited our previous accounting classification for warrants and identified an error related to the presentation of the Private Placement Warrants, resulting in an understatement of liabilities and change in fair value from November 14, 2019 to March 31, 2021. Refer to Note 9 for additional details about the Private Placement Warrants and Public Warrants. The Private Placement Warrants generally have the same terms as the Public Warrants, except that so long as the Private Placement Warrants are held by the original holder or its permitted transferees, (i) the original holder or its permitted transferees may exercise the warrant on a cashless basis and (ii) the Company does not have the right to redeem the Private Placement Warrants. In the case of a change of control in which less than 70 percent of the consideration received is stock listed on an exchange, the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants would be subject to an exercise price adjustment calculated on the basis of a capped American call option and uncapped American call option, respectively. If, however, the Private Placement Warrants are transferred to a third party, the basis for the exercise price adjustment changes and is calculated on the basis of a capped American call option, which results in the valuation change being based, in part, on the holder of the Private Placement Warrants. As a result, the Private Placement Warrants do not meet the criteria to be indexed to valuation inputs based on the Company’s own stock and must be classified as a liability measured at fair value. Based on consideration of both the quantitative and qualitative factors within the provisions of SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 99, Materiality, and Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements, we determined that the error was not material to our previously issued annual and interim consolidated financial statements. Furthermore, we determined that correcting the error in the second quarter of 2021 would not materially misstate our consolidated financial statements and therefore, no restatement of our prior period consolidated financial statements was required.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and disclosures at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The most significant estimates relate to the expected credit losses on our loans and the fair value of financial instruments. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

For certain real properties, where a recent appraisal is either unavailable or not most representative of fair value, the fair value is based on a broker opinion of value including a capitalized income analysis and replacement cost analysis considering historical operating results, market rents, vacancy rates, capitalization rates, land cost comparisons, market trends and economic conditions. The assessment of fair value of real property is subject to uncertainty and, in certain cases, sensitive to the selection of comparable properties.

Certain Significant Risks and Uncertainties

In the normal course of business, we encounter two primary types of economic risk in the form of credit and market risks. Credit risk is the risk of default on our investment in mortgage notes receivable resulting from a borrower's inability or unwillingness to make contractually required payments. Market risk is the risk of declining real estate values for the collateral underlying our loans which may make it more difficult for existing borrowers to remain current on their payment obligations, reduce the speed or ability for our loans to be repaid through the sale or refinance of the collateral and increase the likelihood that we will incur losses on our loans in the event of default as the value of collateral may be insufficient to cover our investment in the loan. We believe that the carrying values of our loans reasonably consider these risks.

In addition, we are subject to significant tax risks. If we were to fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we would be subject to U.S. federal corporate income tax, which could be material.

We operate in a dynamic industry and, accordingly, can be affected by a variety of factors. For example, we believe that changes in any of the following areas could have a significant negative effect on us in terms of our future financial position, results of operations or cash flows: public health crises, like the COVID-19 pandemic; the economy in the areas we operate; competition in our market; the stability of the real estate market and the impact of interest rate changes; changes in government regulation affecting our business; natural disasters and catastrophic events; and our ability to attract and retain qualified employees and key personnel, among other things.

Reportable Segments

We operate the business as one reportable segment, which originates, underwrites and services construction loans.

BALANCE SHEET MEASUREMENT

Cash and Cash Equivalents

We consider all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of 90 days or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. We have a cash management sweep account repurchase agreement, whereby our bank nightly sweeps cash in excess of $750,000, sells us specific U.S. government agency securities and then repurchases these securities the next day.

We maintain our cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions, which are insured up to a maximum of $250,000 per account as of December 31, 2021 and 2020. The balances in these accounts may exceed the insured limits. There were no restrictions on cash as of December 31, 2021 or 2020.

Mortgage Notes Receivable

Mortgage notes receivable (referred to herein as “mortgage notes receivable”, “construction loans”, “loans”, or “notes”) are classified as held for investment, as we have the intent and ability to hold until maturity or payoff and are carried in the consolidated balance sheets at amortized cost, net of construction holdbacks, interest reserves, allowance for credit losses and deferred origination and amendment fees.

Participations in mortgage notes receivables are accounted for as sales and derecognized from the balance sheet when control over the transferred assets has been surrendered. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when: (1) a group of financial assets or a participating interest in an entire financial asset has been isolated from the Company, (2) the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right, beyond a more than trivial benefit) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets, and (3) the Company does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets. If the sales do not meet these criteria, the sale of the participation is treated as a secured borrowing. As of December 31, 2021, there were no outstanding participations in our mortgage notes receivables.

Current Expected Credit Losses Allowance

We adopted the current expected credit loss (“CECL Standard”) during the year ended December 31, 2020. The initial CECL allowance adjustment of $2.0 million was recorded effective January 1, 2020 as a cumulative-effect of change in accounting principle through a direct charge to accumulated deficit on our consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity; however, subsequent changes to the CECL allowance are recognized in our consolidated statements of income.

The CECL Standard replaced the incurred loss model under existing guidance with an expected loss model for instruments measured at amortized cost. We record an allowance for credit losses in accordance with the CECL Standard on our loan portfolio, including unfunded construction holdbacks, on a collective basis by assets with similar risk characteristics. In addition, for assets that are classified as collateral dependent based on foreclosure being probable, we continue to record loan specific allowances based on the fair value of the collateral for expected credit losses under the CECL Standard. Given the short-term nature of our loans, we evaluate the most recent external appraisal and, depending on the age of the appraisal, may order a new appraisal or, where available, will evaluate against existing comparable sales or other pertinent information to estimate the fair value of the collateral for such loans.

The CECL Standard requires an entity to consider historical loss experience, current conditions, and a reasonable and supportable forecast of the economic environment. The Company utilizes a probability of default/loss given default (“PD/LGD”) method for estimating current expected credit losses.

In accordance with the PD/LGD method, an annual historical loss rate is applied to the amortized cost of an asset or pool of assets over the remaining expected life. The PD/LGD method requires consideration of the timing of expected future funding of existing commitments and repayments over each asset’s remaining life. An annual loss factor, adjusted for macroeconomic estimates, is applied over each subsequent period and aggregated to arrive at the CECL allowance.

In determining the CECL allowance, we considered various factors including (i) historical loss experience in our portfolio, (ii) historical loss experience in the commercial real estate lending market, (iii) timing of expected pay offs including prepayments and extensions where reasonably expected, and (iv) our current and future view of the macroeconomic environment. We utilize a reasonable and supportable forecast period equal to the contractual term of the loan plus short-term extensions of one to three months that are reasonably expected for construction loans.

Management estimates the allowance for credit losses using relevant information, from internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The allowance for credit losses is maintained at a level sufficient to provide for expected credit losses over the life of the loan based on evaluating historical credit loss experience and making adjustments to historical loss information for differences in the specific risk characteristics in the current loan portfolio. The CECL Allowance related to the principal outstanding is presented within mortgage notes receivable, net and for unfunded commitments is within accounts payable and accrued liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets.

We have made an accounting policy election to exclude accrued interest receivable, included in interest and fees receivable, net on our consolidated balance sheets, from the amortized cost basis of the related mortgage notes receivable in determining the CECL allowance, as any uncollectable accrued interest receivable is written off either when the collateral underlying the loan is sold or upon transfer to real estate owned. No interest income is recognized on mortgage notes receivable that are in contractual default unless the collectability of all principal is not in doubt and collection of accrued amounts is reasonably assured or paid in cash. In addition, in certain instances, where the interest reserve on a current loan has been fully depleted and the interest payment is not expected to be collected from the borrower, we may place a current loan on non-accrual status and recognize interest income on a cash-basis where principal collection is not in doubt.

Impairment of Loans – Incurred Loss Model

For the periods ended December 31, 2019 and November 14, 2019, we evaluated loans designated as non-performing for impairment as we had some expectation that the repayment of loan, including both contractual interest and principal payments, may not be realized in full. We designated loans as non-performing at such time as (1) the borrower failed to make the required monthly interest-only loan payments; (2) the loan had a maturity default; or (3) in the opinion of management, it was probable we would be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan.

For the 2019 periods, the allowance for credit losses reflected our estimate of incurred loan losses in the loan portfolio as of the balance sheet date. The allowance increased or decreased by recording the loan loss provision or recovery in our consolidated statements of income and decreased by charge-offs when losses were confirmed through the receipt of assets, such as in a pre-foreclosure sale or upon ownership control of the underlying collateral in full satisfaction of the loan upon foreclosure or when significant collection efforts had ceased. The allowance for credit losses was determined on an asset-specific basis.

The asset-specific allowance related to estimated losses on individual impaired loans. This assessment was based on factors such as payment status, lien position, borrower financial resources and investment collateral, collateral type, project economics and geographic location as well as national and regional economic factors.

For impaired loans, impairment was measured using the estimated fair value of collateral less the estimated cost to sell in comparison to the carrying value. Valuations were performed or obtained at the time a loan was determined to be impaired and designated as non-performing, and they are updated if circumstances indicate that a significant change in value has occurred. Given the short-term nature of our loans, we evaluated the most recent external appraisal and depending on the age of the appraisal, may have ordered a new appraisal or, where available, evaluated against existing comparable sales or other pertinent information to estimate the fair value of the collateral for such loans.

Deferred Income

Deferred income represents the amount of our origination and amendment fees that have been deferred and will be recognized in income over the contractual maturity of the underlying loan. Origination fees are included in the total commitment to the borrower and financed at the time of loan origination. Amendment fees are either included in the total commitment to the borrower and financed at the time of the loan amendment or are billed to the borrower when the loan is amended and not capitalized into the principal outstanding. Deferred origination and amendment fees capitalized into the principal outstanding are included within mortgage notes receivable, net on the consolidated balance sheets. Deferred amendment fees that are not included in the principal outstanding are presented within interest and fees receivable, net on the consolidated balance sheets.

Interest and Fees Receivable

Interest on performing loans is accrued and recognized as interest income at the contractual rate of interest, or at the contractual rate of monthly minimum interest. Extension fees are charged when we agree to extend the maturity dates of loans. In addition, late fees are charged when borrower payments are contractually past due. We monitor each note’s outstanding interest and fee receivables and, based on historical performance, generally reserve against the balance after a receivable is greater than 60 days past due unless collectability of all amounts due is reasonably assured.

Real Property

To maximize recovery against a defaulted loan, we may assume legal title or physical possession of the underlying collateral through foreclosure or the execution of a deed in lieu of foreclosure. Foreclosed properties are recorded at the lower of cost and fair value at the time of acquisition. The fair value generally approximates the carrying value of the loan secured by such property, and if the collateral value exceeds the carrying value of the loan, we then record some or all the unpaid, accrued interest and fees to the carrying value of the property.

Real property is classified as held for sale in the period when we commit to a plan and have the authority to sell the asset in its current condition, have initiated an active marketing plan to sell the asset at a price that is reflective of its current fair value and the sale of the asset is both probable and expected to qualify for full sales recognition within a period of 12 months. Real property, held for sale is held at the lower of cost or fair value, which evaluated on a quarterly basis.

Real property that does not qualify as held for sale is classified as held for use. Once construction is complete, real property, held for use is depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the property and depreciation expense is no longer recorded once the real property is classified as held for sale.

Costs related to acquisition, development, construction and improvements are capitalized to the extent the investment in the real property does not exceed the fair value less estimated costs to sell. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense when incurred.

Leases

Our office space in Seattle, Washington is subject to an operating lease. The right of use assets and lease liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets relate to this lease. The lease agreement includes both lease components (e.g., fixed rent) and non-lease components (e.g., common-area maintenance). We account for the lease and non-lease components as a single component.

Right of use assets represent our right to use an underlying asset during the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments. Right of use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of the total lease payments not yet paid, including lease incentives not yet received, with the right of use assets further adjusted for any prepaid or accrued lease payments, lease incentives received and/or initial direct costs incurred. Our lease arrangement also includes variable payments for costs such as common-area maintenance, utilities, taxes or other operating costs, which are based on a percentage of actual expenses incurred. These variable lease payments are excluded from the measurement of the right of use assets and lease liabilities.

When our lease includes an option to extend the lease term, we consider several factors in determining if a renewal option is reasonably certain of being exercised at lease commencement, including, but not limited to, contract-based, asset-based and entity-based factors. We reassess the term of the existing lease if there is a significant event or change in circumstances within our control that affects whether we are reasonably certain to exercise the option to extend the lease. Examples of such events or changes include construction of significant leasehold improvements or other modifications or customizations to the underlying asset, relevant business decisions or subleases.

As our lease did not provide an implicit rate, we used our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date in determining the present value of the lease payments.

We recognize lease expense for our operating lease on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Variable lease payments are generally recognized when incurred. These expenses are included in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of income.

Goodwill

Goodwill was recognized as of the close of the Business Combination on November 14, 2019 and represents the excess of the cost of an acquired business over the fair value of the assets acquired at the date of acquisition and is not amortized. We assess the impairment of goodwill on an annual basis, in our fourth quarter, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that goodwill may be impaired. In our evaluation of goodwill, we typically first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether the carrying value of each reporting unit is greater than its fair value. If it is more likely than not that the carrying value of a reporting unit is greater than its fair value, we perform a quantitative assessment and an impairment charge is recorded in our statements of operations for the excess of carrying value of the reporting unit over its fair value. Our annual assessment occurs in the fourth quarter. We continue to monitor the impact of COVID-19 and determined there were no new triggering events to warrant a quantitative assessment of our goodwill during 2021.

In the first quarter of 2020, we recorded a measurement period adjustment to reduce the preliminary fair value of intangible assets in the form of customer relationships by $5.0 million and increased our preliminary value of goodwill by $5.0 million. As a result of this adjustment to preliminary values, $0.9 million of amortization of intangible assets recorded in 2019 was reversed in the first quarter of 2020.

Other Assets

Other assets primarily consist of deferred financing costs related to our revolving credit facility, fixed assets, prepaid insurance, intangible assets, and other operating receivables.

Fixed Assets

Fixed assets, which are included in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Repairs and maintenance to these assets are charged to expense as incurred; major improvements enhancing the function and/or useful life are capitalized. When items are sold or retired, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gains or losses arising from such transactions are recognized. Depreciation is recorded on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the assets. For computer equipment, office equipment, furniture and fixtures the useful lives range from three to seven years. For leasehold improvements, we depreciate over the shorter of expected useful life or lease term.

Deferred Financing Costs

Deferred financing costs that are included in other assets represent direct costs associated with the execution of the revolving credit facility. Such costs are included in other assets because the revolving credit facility has no principal outstanding as of December 31, 2021 and there is no recognized debt liability. These costs are amortized on the straight-line basis over the initial term of our revolving credit facility.

Intangible Assets

As a result of the Business Combination in November 2019, we identified intangible assets in the form of customer relationships. We record the intangible assets at fair value at the acquisition date and amortize the value of these finite-lived intangibles into expense over the expected useful life. All of our intangible assets relate to the value of customer relationships. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, intangible assets net of accumulated amortization totaled $0.3 and $0.6 million, respectively.

Senior Unsecured Notes

Senior unsecured notes are recorded at the face amount of the notes net of issuance costs.

Debt Issuance Costs

Debt issuance costs represent direct costs associated with the issuance of a debt instrument that are deferred and amortized over the initial term of our debt instruments. Debt issuance costs are reported in the consolidated balance sheets as a direct deduction from the face amount of the debt issued. Costs that do not qualify as debt issuance costs are expensed as incurred.

INCOME RECOGNITION

Interest Income

Interest income on mortgage notes receivable is accrued based on contractual rates applied to the principal balance, unless there is a minimum interest provision in the mortgage note. Certain construction loans provide for minimum interest provisions, to which the contractual rate applies, which are typically between 50% and 70% of the face amount of the note until the actual outstanding principal exceeds the minimum threshold.

Mortgage notes receivable can be placed in contractual default status for any of the following reasons: (1) an interest payment is more than 30 days past due; (2) a note matures and the borrower fails to make payment of all amounts owed or extend the loan; or (3) the collateral becomes impaired in such a way that the ultimate collection of the note is doubtful. The accrual of interest income is suspended when a loan is in contractual default unless the interest is paid in cash or collectability of all amounts due is reasonably assured. In addition, in certain instances, where the interest reserve on a current loan has been fully depleted and the interest payment is not expected to be collected from the borrower, we may place a current loan on non-accrual status and recognize interest income on a cash-basis where principal collection is not in doubt. Interest previously accrued may be reversed at that time, and such reversal is offset against interest income. The accrual of interest income resumes only when the suspended loan becomes contractually current or a credit analysis supports the ability to collect all principal outstanding and accrued amounts at loan payoff.

Fee Income

We charge loan origination fees in conjunction with origination. Amendment fees are charged when loan terms are modified, such as increases in interest reserves and construction holdbacks in line with our underwriting criteria or upon modification of a loan for the transition from horizontal development to vertical construction. We defer and amortize loan origination and amendment fees over the contractual terms of the loans. Extension fees are charged when we agree to extend the maturity dates of loans and we charge fees on past due receivables. Extension and late fees are recognized when billed to the borrower.

We charge inspection fees, which we use to hire independent inspectors to report on the status of construction projects. These fees are earned and recognized upon each construction draw request.

EXPENSE RECOGNITION

Interest Expense

Interest expense on debt obligations is accrued based on the note rate applied to the face amount of the debt outstanding. Amortization of debt issuance costs and deferred financing costs over the initial term of the debt instruments is reported as interest expense in the consolidated statements of income.

Stock‑Based Compensation

We measure compensation expense for all share-based awards at fair value on the date of grant and recognize compensation expense over the service period on a straight-line basis for awards expected to vest, which is generally three years for employees and one year for directors. Share-based awards are issued under the Broadmark Realty Capital Inc. 2019 Stock Incentive Plan.

Awards made to our employees and directors, typically consist of restricted stock units (“RSUs”). Employee stock-based compensation expense is included in compensation and employee benefits and director stock-based compensation expense is included in general and administrative in the consolidated statement of operations. For awards with only a service vesting condition, the fair value of the award is based on the grant date closing price of our common stock less the present value of expected dividends over the requisite service period, as the awards are not entitled to dividends. For these awards, we recognize stock-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award, subject to periodic adjustments to ensure that the cumulative amount of expense recognized through the end of any reporting period is at least equal to the portion of the grant date fair value of the award that has vested through that date, and we account for forfeitures prospectively as they occur. For awards that contain both service vesting and market conditions, referred to as performance restricted stock units (“pRSUs”), we use a Monte Carlo simulation model to calculate the grant date fair value. For these market-condition awards, regardless of the outcome of the market condition, we recognize stock-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the longest of explicit and derived service periods, and we account for forfeitures prospectively as they occur. If there are any modifications or cancellations of the underlying unvested share-based awards, we may be required to accelerate or increase any remaining unrecognized or previously recorded stock-based compensation expense.

Profit Interests (Predecessor)

The Predecessor Management Companies' profits interests were accounted for as share-based compensation. The Predecessor Management Companies expensed the fair value of profits interests granted to its employees and directors over the period each award vested. Compensation cost was measured using the Black-Scholes model. All unvested profits interests vested at the time of the Business Combination.

Income Taxes (Successor)

We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, for U.S. federal income tax purposes (the “Code”). As a REIT, we generally are not subject to U.S. federal income taxes on net income we distribute to our stockholders. We intend to make timely distributions sufficient to satisfy the annual distribution requirements. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on our taxable income at regular corporate tax rates. Even if we qualify for taxation as a REIT, we may be subject to certain state and local taxes on our income and property and U.S. federal income and excise taxes on our undistributed income. Our TRSs are subject to U.S. federal income taxes.

Income Taxes (Predecessor)

The Predecessor Companies were taxed as partnerships and REITs under provisions of the Code. As such, the tax attributes of the partnerships are included in the individual tax returns of its members for partnerships and not for the Predecessor Company Group as the REIT entities met the qualifications to be taxed as REITs. Accordingly, the accompanying consolidated statement of income for the period ending November 14, 2019 includes no provision for income taxes for the Predecessor Company Group.

Earnings per Share

We present both basic and diluted earnings per common share (“EPS”) amounts in our consolidated financial statements. Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the maximum potential dilution that could occur from our outstanding warrants and restricted stock units. We consider the two-class method to measure dilution to earnings per share. Under the two-class method, net income is first reduced for dividends declared on all classes of securities to arrive at undistributed earnings. During periods of net losses, the net loss is reduced for dividends declared on participating securities only if the security has the right to participate in the earnings of the company and an objectively determinable contractual obligation to share in net losses of the company. The remaining earnings are allocated to common stockholders and participating securities to the extent that each security shares in earnings as if all of the earnings for the period had been distributed. Each total is then divided by the applicable weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period to arrive at basic earnings per share. We utilize the treasury stock method to measure dilution to earnings per share in calculating the net number of shares that would be issued, assuming any related proceeds are used to buy back outstanding shares.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

There are no recent accounting pronouncements that we have yet to adopt with an expected impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
