Loans Held for Investment

Note 9 — Loans Held for Investment

During the six months ended June 30, 2014, in connection with the Cole Merger, the Company acquired two mortgage notes receivable, each of which is secured by an office building. The mortgage notes had a fair value of $72.3 million as of the Cole Acquisition Date. As of December 31, 2013, the Company owned 12 loans held for investment, which were acquired in connection with the CapLease Merger and consist predominantly of mortgage loans on properties subject to leases to investment-grade tenants. The loans had a fair value of $26.5 million at the CapLease Merger Date. At June 30, 2014, the Company owned 14 loans held for investment, which had a carrying value of $97.6 million and carried interest rates ranging from 5.28% to 7.24%. As of December 31, 2013, the loans held for investment had a carrying value of $26.3 million and carried interest rates ranging from 5.28% to 7.24%. The fair value adjustment is being amortized to interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations over the term of the loan, using the effective interest method.

The Company’s loan portfolio is comprised primarily of fully amortizing or nearly fully amortizing first mortgage loans on commercial real estate leased to a single tenant. Therefore, the Company’s monitoring of the credit quality of its loans held for investment is focused primarily on an analysis of the tenant, including review of tenant credit ratings (including changes in ratings) and other measures of tenant credit quality, trends in the tenant’s industry and general economic conditions and an analysis of measures of collateral coverage, such as an estimate of the loan’s loan-to-value (“LTV”) ratio (principal amount outstanding divided by estimated value of the property) and its remaining term until maturity. As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had no reserve for loan loss.
