SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. ("GAAP"). In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to fairly present the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, majority-owned or controlled subsidiaries and VIEs for which the Company is considered the primary beneficiary. All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and within the period of financial results. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates affecting the accompanying consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, the net realizable and fair values of the Company’s investments, the estimated useful lives used to calculate depreciation, the expected lives over which to amortize premiums and accrete discounts, reversals of or provisions for expected credit losses and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase. From time to time, we may have bank balances in excess of federally insured amounts; however, we deposit our cash and cash equivalents with high credit-quality institutions to minimize credit risk exposure. Restricted cash includes required account balance minimums primarily for the Company’s CRE debt securitizations, as well as cash held in various escrow and deposit accounts. The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash on the consolidated balance sheets to the total amount shown on the consolidated statements of cash flows (in thousands):
Investments in Real Estate The Company depreciates investments in real estate and amortizes related intangible assets over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:
Income Taxes The Company recorded a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets (tax effected expense of $20.4 million) at June 30, 2025, as the Company believes it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized. This assessment was based on the Company’s cumulative historical losses and uncertainties as to the amount of taxable income that would be generated in future years by the Company’s taxable REIT subsidiaries. Earnings per Share The Company presents both basic and diluted earnings per share ("EPS"). Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income (loss) allocable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock, where such exercise or conversion would result in a lower EPS amount. Recent Accounting Standards Accounting Standards to be Adopted in Future Periods In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance to improve the transparency of income tax disclosures. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 and is to be adopted on a prospective basis with the option to apply retrospectively. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this guidance, however, the Company does not expect a material impact to its consolidated financial statements. In November 2024, the FASB issued guidance to improve transparency on certain costs and expenses. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and is to be adopted on a prospective basis with the option to apply retrospectively. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this guidance, however, the Company does not expect a material impact to its consolidated financial statements. |
