The Company offers inventory-secured financing for its products to a limited number of qualified retail dealers and developers.

With respect to our inventory finance notes receivable, 80% of the risk of loss is spread over five borrowers as of March 28, 2015 and December 27, 2014. 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. We have not experienced any losses to date. 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 for credit losses of $6,710 and $32,970 for three month period ending March 28, 2015 and March 29, 2014, respectively. The following table represents changes in the estimated allowance for loan losses:
