The Company utilizes the level of security it has in the notes receivable as its primary credit quality indicator (i.e., senior, subordinated or unsecured) when determining the appropriate allowances for uncollectible loans. The Company considers loans to be past due and in default when payments are not made when due. Although the Company considers loans to be in default if payments are not received on the due date, the Company does not suspend the accrual of interest until those payments are more than 30 days past due. The Company applies payments received for loans on non-accrual status first to interest and then principal. The Company does not resume interest accrual until all delinquent payments are received. For impaired loans, the Company recognizes interest income on a cash basis.

The Company determined that approximately $52.4 million and $52.1 million of its notes receivable were impaired at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. The total unpaid principal balances of these impaired notes are $51.8 million, which are current based on their restructured loan maturity terms, as of both March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The Company recorded allowances for credit losses on these impaired loans totaling $4.4 million at both March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The average notes receivable on non-accrual status was approximately $27.1 million and $1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. No interest income on impaired loans was recognized on a cash basis during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018.

The Company provided loan reserves on non-impaired loans totaling $0.3 million at both March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. There were no changes in total loan reserves between December 31, 2018 and March 31, 2019.

The Company has identified loans totaling approximately $13.8 million and $12.9 million, respectively, with stated interest rates that are less than market rate, representing a total discount of $1.4 million and $1.5 million as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. These discounts are reflected as a reduction of the outstanding loan amounts and are amortized over the life of the related loan.

Past due balances of notes receivable by credit quality indicators are as follows:

	30-89 days Past Due		> 90 days Past Due		Total Past Due		Current		Total  Notes Receivable
