As of both March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, one loan with a senior tranche met the definition of collateral-dependent and is collateralized by membership interests in the borrowing entities and the associated land parcel. The Company used a discounted cash flow ("DCF") market approach via quoted market prices to value the underlying collateral. The Company reviewed the borrower's financial statements, economic trends, industry projections for the market, and comparable sales capitalization rates, which represent significant inputs to the cash flow projections. These nonrecurring fair value measurements are classified as level three of the fair value measurement hierarchy, as there are unobservable inputs which are significant to the overall fair value. Based on these analyses, the fair value of collateral secures substantially all of the carrying value of each loan. Allowances for credit losses attributable to collateral-dependent loans are $0.9 million as of both March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
As of December 31, 2022, two loans had revised provisions as a result of loan repayments being made timely and a favorable reassessment of the underlying collateral's performance. The write-offs for the year ended December 31, 2022 are primarily associated with a loan previously classified as collateral-dependent that was settled in exchange for an operating hotel on April 14, 2022, as well as a loan that was settled under negotiated terms and therefore written off.
The Company considers loans past due and in default when payments are not made when due in accordance with then current loan provisions or terms extended to borrowers, including loans with concessions or interest deferral. The Company suspends the accrual of interest when payments on loans are more than 30 days past due or upon a loan being classified as collateral-dependent. The Company applies payments received for loans on non-accrual status first to interest and then to principal. The Company does not resume interest accrual until all delinquent payments are received based on then current loan provisions. The amortized cost basis of notes receivable on non-accrual status was $18.4 million and $18.7 million at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
The Company has identified loans totaling approximately $4.8 million as of both March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, with stated interest rates that are less than market rate, representing a total unamortized discount of $0.1 million as of both March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. These discounts are reflected as a reduction of the outstanding loan amounts and are amortized over the life of the related loan.
