(1)	Weighted average is calculated based on the interest bearing principal balance of each loan within the related category. For loans acquired with servicing rights released by the seller, interest rates included in the calculation do not reflect loan servicing fees. For loans acquired with servicing rights retained by the seller, interest rates included in the calculation are net of servicing fees.

(2)

LTV represents the ratio of the total unpaid principal balance of the loan to the estimated value of the collateral securing the related loan as of the most recent date available, which may be the origination date. For Rehabilitation loans, the LTV presented is the ratio of the maximum unpaid principal balance of the loan, including unfunded commitments, to the estimated “after repaired” value of the collateral securing the related loan, where available. For certain Rehabilitation loans, totaling $250.0 million, an after repaired valuation was not obtained and the loan was underwritten based on an “as is” valuation. The weighted average LTV of these loans based on the current unpaid principal balance and the valuation obtained during underwriting, is 69%. Excluded from the calculation of weighted average LTV are certain low value loans secured by vacant lots, for which the LTV ratio is not meaningful.


(3)	Excluded from the table above are approximately $59.5 million of Purchased Performing Loans for which the closing of the purchase transaction had not occurred as of September 30, 2019.


(4)	Carrying value of Rehabilitation loans excludes an allowance for loan losses of $388,000 at September 30, 2019.

(5)

Purchased Credit Impaired Loans tend to be characterized by varying performance of the underlying borrowers over time, including loans where multiple months of payments are received in a period to bring the loan to current status, followed by months where no payments are received. Accordingly, delinquency information is presented for loans that are more than 90 days past due that are considered to be seriously delinquent.

Purchased Performing Loans

As of September 30, 2019, there were 166 Purchased Performing Loans held at carrying value that have been placed on non-accrual status because they are 90 or more days delinquent or otherwise had not met the necessary criteria to be returned to accrual status. Such loans have an unpaid balance of approximately $66.4 million. These non-accrual loans represent approximately 1.6% of the total outstanding principal balance of all of the Company’s Purchased Performing Loans and have a weighted average LTV of 68%. As of September 30, 2019, the Company had established an allowance for loan losses of $388,000. For the three months ended September 30, 2019, no provision for loan losses was recorded. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, a provision for loan losses of $622,000 was recorded, which is included in Operating and Other expense on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. No provision for loan losses was recorded in the prior year periods.

In connection with purchased Rehabilitation loans, the Company had unfunded commitments of $126.0 million at September 30, 2019.

(1)	Included in the activity presented for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 is approximately $54.9 million of Purchase Credit Impaired Loans held at carrying value the Company committed to purchase during the three months ended June 30, 2018, but for which the closing of the purchase transaction occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2018.

Accretable yield for Purchased Credit Impaired residential whole loans is the excess of loan cash flows expected to be collected over the purchase price. The cash flows expected to be collected represent the Company’s estimate of the amount and timing of undiscounted principal and interest cash flows. Additions include accretable yield estimates for purchases made during the period and reclassification to accretable yield from non-accretable yield. Accretable yield is reduced by accretion during the period. The reclassifications between accretable and non-accretable yield and the accretion of interest income are based on changes in estimates regarding loan performance and the value of the underlying real estate securing the loans. In future periods, as the Company

updates estimates of cash flows expected to be collected from the loans and the underlying collateral, the accretable yield may change. Therefore, the amount of accretable income recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 is not necessarily indicative of future results.
