With respect to our inventory finance notes receivable, the risk of loss is spread over numerous borrowers. In addition to historical experience, borrower inventory levels and activity are monitored in conjunction with a third-party provider to estimate the potential for loss. The Company anticipates it will be able to resell any repossessed homes, thereby mitigating loss experience. If a default occurs and collateral is lost, the Company is exposed to loss of the full value of the note receivable. The Company recorded a provision/(benefit) for credit losses of $32,970 and $(16,180) for three month period ending March 29, 2014 and March 30, 2013, respectively.
