We sell certain loans into securitizations; however, for a transfer of financial assets to be considered a sale, the transfer must meet the sale criteria of ASC 860 under which the Company must surrender control over the transferred assets which must qualify as recognized financial assets at the time of transfer. The assets must be isolated from the Company, even in bankruptcy or other receivership, the purchaser must have the right to pledge or sell the assets transferred and the Company may not have an option or obligation to reacquire the assets. If the sale criteria are not met, the transfer is considered to be a secured borrowing, the assets remain on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and the sale proceeds are recognized as a liability. As of March 31, 2019, our portfolio included one of these loans with an outstanding face amount of $15.4 million and a carrying value of $15.5 million.

(1)
Includes $54.8 million of non-cash repayment of mortgage loan receivables held for investment.
(2)
Includes $11.1 million of non-cash proceeds from sales.
(3)
Includes $0.5 million of realized losses on loans related to lower of cost or market adjustments for the three months ended March 31, 2018.
(4)
During the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company reclassified from mortgage loan receivables held for sale to mortgage loan receivables held for investment, net, at amortized cost, a loan with an outstanding face amount of $57.6 million, a book value of $55.4 million (fair value at date of reclassification) and a remaining maturity of 2.5 years. The loan had been recorded at lower of cost or market prior to its reclassification. The discount to fair value is the result of an increase in market interest rates since the loan’s origination and not a deterioration in credit of the borrower or collateral coverage and the Company expects to collect all amounts due under the loan.
