Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements include Broadmark Realty Capital Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. These unaudited condensed consolidated interim 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”) regarding interim financial reporting. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Accordingly, these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies described in the audited consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the accompanying notes included in Broadmark Realty Capital Inc.’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, which was filed with the SEC on February 28, 2022. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021, included herein, was derived from the audited financial statements of Broadmark Realty Capital Inc. as of that date.

The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly our financial position as of June 30, 2022, our results of operations and stockholders’ equity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, and our cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. The results of the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 is not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022 or for any interim period or for any other future year.

Principles of 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 unaudited condensed 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 unaudited condensed 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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 have been reclassified to conform to the presentation of our current period unaudited condensed 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 and separately presenting real property management expenses, net and interest expense on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income. The reclassification within the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the change in amortization of credit facility costs to the change in other assets resulted in no change to the cash provided by operating activities. The reclassifications also included the separate presentation of origination and fundings of mortgage notes receivable, principal collections and proceeds from mortgage notes receivable and origination and amendment fees received on mortgage notes receivable on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the unaudited condensed 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, the fair value of financial instruments, exit prices for collateral dependent loans and the fair value of investments in real property. 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 of the “as complete” property is based on a broker opinion of value including a capitalized income analysis and replacement cost analysis considering market rents, vacancy rates, capitalization rates, land cost comparisons, market trends and economic conditions. Depending on the stage of the underlying property, we also consider estimated costs to complete remaining construction and to lease up the finished property. 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: 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; public health crises, like the COVID-19 pandemic; 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 loans secured by real estate.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In March 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2022-02, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures, which eliminates the accounting guidance for troubled debt restructurings (“TDR”) for creditors that have adopted the current expected credit losses (“CECL”) standard and requires enhanced disclosures for loan modifications made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty in the form of interest rate reductions, principal forgiveness, other-than-insignificant payment delays, or term extensions. In addition, the new guidance requires presentation in the vintage disclosures of current-period gross write-offs by year of origination. The guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2023. Entities are able to early adopt the guidance and have the ability to early adopt the TDR enhancements separately from the vintage disclosures. We have not yet adopted this ASU. While the guidance will result in expanded disclosures, we do not believe the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on our financial position, results of operation or cash flows.
