The net credit exposure for the balance evaluated individually for impairment as of March 31, 2016 was $3.2 million, which is related to a customer in bankruptcy. The note and lease receivables associated with this customer are on non-accrual status.

The age of the recorded minimum lease payments and net credit exposure associated with our investment in direct financing and sales-type leases that are past due disaggregated based on our internally assigned credit quality rating (“CQR”) were as follows as of March 31, 2016 and 2015 (in thousands):

We estimate losses on our net credit exposure to be between 0% - 5% for customers with high CQR, as these customers are investment grade or the equivalent of investment grade. We estimate losses on our net credit exposure to be between 2% - 15% for customers with average CQR, and between 15% - 100% for customers with low CQR, which includes customers in bankruptcy.
