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 six borrowers as of June 27, 2015 and five borrowers as of 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. 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 $18,050 and $(70,750) for six month period ending June 27, 2015 and June 28, 2014, respectively. The following table represents changes in the estimated allowance for loan losses:
