(1)During the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded a provision for (recovery of) loan losses of $22.6 million and ($2.2) million, respectively, in its consolidated statements of operations. The provision in 2022 was due primarily to a $25.0 million charge-off on the Company’s held-to-maturity debt security, which is now recorded at its expected repayment proceeds. The recovery in 2021 was due primarily to the repayment of loans during the three months ended June 30, 2021 and an improving macroeconomic forecast on commercial real estate markets since March 31, 2021. Of this amount, $0.4 million related to a provision for loan losses for unfunded loan commitments and is recorded as a reduction to "Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities.”

(1)The carrying value of this loan includes an amortized exit fee of $0.8 million and $0.8 million as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The Company’s loans individually evaluated for impairment represent loans on non-accrual status and the unamortized amounts associated with these loans are not currently being amortized into income.
(2)The carrying value of these loans includes unamortized discounts, premiums, deferred fees and costs totaling net premiums (discounts) of $0.3 million and ($0.2) million as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.
(3)Available-for-sale debt securities are evaluated for impairment under ASC 326-30 – Financial Instruments-Credit Losses.

Credit Characteristics—As part of the Company’s process for monitoring the credit quality of its loans, it performs a quarterly loan portfolio assessment and assigns risk ratings to each of its performing loans. Risk ratings, which range from 1 (lower risk) to 5 (higher risk), are based on judgments which are inherently uncertain, and there can be no assurance that actual performance will be similar to current expectation. The Company designates loans as non-performing at such

time as: (1) interest payments become 90 days delinquent; (2) the loan has a maturity default; or (3) management determines it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan. All non-performing loans are placed on non-accrual status and income is only recognized in certain cases upon actual cash receipt.

The Company’s amortized cost basis in performing senior mortgages, corporate/partnership loans and subordinate mortgages, presented by year of origination and by credit quality, as indicated by risk rating, as of June 30, 2022 were as follows ($ in thousands):

(1)The Company has one non-accrual loan as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 that is considered impaired and included in the table above. The Company did not record any interest income on impaired loans for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

Loans receivable held for sale—In March 2021, the Company acquired land and simultaneously structured and entered into with the seller a Ground Lease on which a multi-family project will be constructed. The Company funded $16.1 million at closing and the Ground Lease documents provided for future funding obligations to the Ground Lease tenant of approximately $11.9 million of deferred purchase price and $52.0 million of leasehold improvement allowance upon achievement of certain milestones. At closing, the Company entered into an agreement with SAFE pursuant to which, subject to certain conditions being met, SAFE would acquire the ground lessor entity from the Company. The Company determined that the transaction did not qualify as a sale leaseback transaction and recorded the Ground Lease in “Loans receivable held for sale” on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. Subsequent to closing, the Company funded approximately $6.0 million of the deferred purchase price to the Ground Lease tenant. The Company sold the ground lessor entity (and SAFE assumed all future funding obligations to the Ground Lease tenant) to SAFE in September 2021 for $22.1 million and recorded no gain or loss on the sale.

In June 2021, the Company acquired a parcel of land for $42.0 million and simultaneously entered into a Ground Lease (refer to Note 5). The Company also concurrently entered into an agreement pursuant to which SAFE would acquire the Ground Lease from the Company. The Ground Lease was entered into with the seller of the land and did not qualify for sale leaseback accounting, and as such, was accounted for as a financing transaction and $42.0 million was recorded in “Loans receivable held for sale” on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet at the time of acquisition. In January 2022, the Company sold its loan receivable held for sale to the Ground Lease Plus Fund (refer to Note 8).
