NOTE 4 – LOANS

Loans generally are funded at a fixed interest rate with a loan term of up to five years. Loans acquired between related mortgage funds are generally done so within the first six months of origination and are purchased at par value, which approximates fair value. See Note 3 (Manager and Other Related Parties) for a description of loans transferred by executed assignments between the related mortgage funds.

The company’s loans are primarily secured by real estate in coastal California metropolitan areas. The portfolio segments are first and second trust deeds mortgages and the key credit quality indicator is the LTV. First mortgages are predominant, but second lien deeds of trust are not infrequent nor insignificant. First-mortgage loans comprised 88% of the portfolio at June 30, 2025 (88% at December 31, 2024).

Includes principal collected and held in trust at June 30, 2025 of $0, offset by principal collected and held in trust at December 31, 2024 of approximately $1 thousand which was disbursed to the company in January 2025.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the company renewed one and three maturing (or matured) loans with aggregate principal of approximately $241 thousand and $4.0 million, respectively, which are not included in the activity shown in the table above. The one loan extended in the three months ended June 30, 2025 was extended for 36 months and the three loans extended in the six months ended June 30, 2025 have an average extension period of approximately 17 months and each was current and deemed well collateralized (i.e., the current LTV for the collateral was within lending guidelines as discussed in Note 2 to these financial statements). Interest rates charged to borrowers may be adjusted in conjunction with the loan extensions to reflect current market conditions (in the six months ended June 30, 2025, one extension included a rate increase).

In the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, one loan with principal of approximately $1.1 million was sold to an unaffiliated third party. The company recognized a gain of approximately $8 thousand, net of a commission.

As of June 30, 2025, there were no commitments to lend outstanding and no construction or rehabilitation loans outstanding.

At the time a loan is funded, the LTV is such that the protective equity in the collateral securing the loan is sufficient to preclude any expected credit losses – principal unless there is a forward period adverse event that is uninsured and/or there are market conditions so adverse (and are other-than-temporary) that the protective equity is reduced to an amount not sufficient to recover the principal owed.

See Delinquency/Secured loans with payments in arrears below for additional information on matured loans.

Scheduled maturities are presented based on the most recent in-effect agreement with the borrower, including forbearance agreements, if any. As a result, matured loans at June 30, 2025, for the scheduled maturities table above may differ from the same captions in the tables of delinquencies and payment in arrears presented below that do not consider forbearance agreements. For matured loans, the company may continue to accept payments while pursuing collection of principal or while negotiating an extension of the maturity date. Loans are written without a prepayment penalty causing an uncertainty/a lack of predictability as to the expected duration versus the scheduled maturity.

One loan included above with principal of $5.8 million ($9.1 million at funding) at June 30, 2025, has payment terms that provide for principal reductions upon the sale of the office condominiums. Sales commenced in 2024 and continue in 2025. The maturity table above does not reflect these periodic principal payments, which will result in an acceleration of the payoff of the loan as or if they continue to occur.

The above analysis does not include any forward period extensions, renewals or modifications that the company may undertake at its sole and unconditional discretion, which could extend the contractual maturities.

One loan included above with principal of $5.8 million ($9.1 million at funding) at June 30, 2025, has payment terms that provide for principal reductions upon the sale of the office condominiums. Sales commenced in 2024 and continue in 2025. The maturity table above does not reflect these periodic principal payments, which will result in an acceleration of the payoff of the loan as or if they continue to occur.

Fair Value

The following methods and assumptions are used when estimating fair value (Level 3 inputs).

Secured loans/performing

The fair value of the company’s secured loan balances is deemed to approximate the amortized cost, net of the allowance for credit losses.

Terms to maturity are typically one to five years at origination and are shorter than commercial real estate loans by conventional/ institutional lenders and conventional single-family home mortgage lenders;
Loans are written without a prepayment penalty causing uncertainty/a lack of predictability as to the expected duration; and
Interest rates are at a premium to rates charged by conventional lenders.

The following methods and assumptions are used to determine the fair value of the collateral securing a loan.

Single family — Management’s preferred method for determining the fair market value of its single-family residential assets is the sale comparison method. Management primarily obtains sales comparables (comps) via its subscription to the RealQuest service, but also uses free online services such as Zillow.com and other available resources to supplement this data. Sale comps are reviewed and adjusted for similarity to the subject property, examining features such as proximity to subject, number of bedrooms and bathrooms, square footage, sale date, condition and year built.

If applicable sale comps are not available or deemed unreliable, management will seek additional information in the form of brokers’ opinions of value or appraisals.

Multi-family residential — Management’s preferred method for determining the aggregate retail value of its multifamily units is the sale comparison method. Sale comps are typically provided in appraisals, or by realtors who specialize in multi-family residential properties. Sales comps are reviewed for similarity to the subject property, examining features such as proximity to subject, rental income, number of units, composition of units by the number of bedrooms and bathrooms, square footage, condition, amenities and year built.

Management’s secondary method for valuing its multifamily assets as income-producing rental operations is the direct capitalization method. In order to determine market cap rates for properties of the same class and location as the subject, management refers to published data from reliable third-party sources such as the CBRE Cap Rate Survey. Management applies the appropriate cap rate to the subject’s most recent available annual net operating income to determine the property’s value as an income-producing project. When adequate sale comps are not available or reliable net operating income information is not available or the project is under development or is under-performing to market, management will seek additional information and analysis to determine the cost to improve and the intrinsic fair value and/or management will seek additional information in the form of brokers’ opinion of value or appraisals.

Commercial — Management’s preferred method for determining the fair value of its commercial buildings is the sale comparison method. Sale comps are typically provided in appraisals, or by realtors who specialize in commercial properties. Sale comps are reviewed for similarity to the subject property, examining features such as proximity to subject, rental income, number of units, composition of units, common areas, and year built.

Management’s secondary method for valuing its commercial buildings is the direct capitalization method. In order to determine market cap rates for properties of the same class and location as the subject, management refers to reputable third-party sources such as the CBRE Cap Rate Survey. Management then applies the appropriate cap rate to the subject’s most recent available annual net operating income to determine the property’s value as an income-producing commercial rental project.

When adequate sale comps are not available or reliable net operating income information is not available or the project is under development or is under-performing to market, management will seek additional information and analysis to determine the cost to improve and the intrinsic fair value and/or management will seek additional information in the form of brokers’ opinion of value or appraisals.

Commercial land Commercial land has many variations/uses, thus requiring management to employ a variety of methods depending upon the unique characteristics of the subject land, including a determination of its highest and best use. Management may rely on information in the form of a sale comparison analysis (where adequate sale comps are available), brokers’ opinion of value, or appraisal.
