During 2010, we provided seller financing in conjunction with two disposition transactions. The seller financing is evidenced by first mortgages secured by the assignment of rents and the underlying real estate assets.

During 2012, we provided secured acquisition financing to a third party. We also agreed to loan such third party $8.4 million on a secured basis to fund future infrastructure development. As of September 30, 2013, $0.2 million has been funded to the third party for infrastructure development. We concluded this arrangement to be an interest in a variable interest entity. However, since we do not have the power to direct matters that most significantly impact the activities of the entity, we do not qualify as the primary beneficiary. Accordingly, the entity is not consolidated. Our risk of loss with respect to this arrangement is limited to the carrying value of the mortgage receivable and the future infrastructure development funding commitment.

We evaluate the ability to collect our mortgages and notes receivable by monitoring the leasing statistics and/or market fundamentals of these assets. As of September 30, 2013, our mortgages and notes receivable were not in default and there were no other indicators of impairment.
