(2) Finance receivables measured at fair value

 

Our portfolio of finance receivables consists of small-balance homogeneous contracts comprising a single segment. Our contract purchase guidelines are designed to produce a homogenous portfolio. For key terms such as interest rate, length of contract, monthly payment and amount financed, there is relatively little variation from the average for the portfolio.

 

We have elected to use the fair value method to value our portfolio of finance receivables acquired. The accounting treatment follows the fair value hierarchy outlined in ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements”, and the inputs and assumptions are level 3. This is described further in footnote 9.

 

Our valuation policies and procedures have been developed by our Accounting department in conjunction with our Risk department and with consultation with outside valuation experts. Our policies and procedures have been approved by our Chief Executive and our Board of Directors and include methodologies for valuation, internal reporting, calibration and back testing. Our periodic review of valuations includes an analysis of changes in fair value measurements and documentation of the reasons for such changes. There is little available third-party information such as broker quotes or pricing services available to assist us in our valuation process.

 

Our level 3, unobservable inputs reflect our own assumptions about the factors that market participants use in pricing similar receivables and are based on the best information available in the circumstances. They include such inputs as estimates for the magnitude and timing of net charge-offs and the rate of amortization of the portfolio of finance receivable. Significant changes in any of those inputs in isolation would have a significant effect on our fair value measurement.

 

For the quarter ended March 31, 2026, the Company evaluated the appropriate fair value and future earnings rate of existing receivables compared to recently acquired receivables and did not record a mark up or down to the portfolio.

 

The table below presents a reconciliation of the finance receivables measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs:
