| SEGMENT REPORTING |
17. SEGMENT REPORTING The Company has determined that it has three reportable segments based on how the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), the Chief Executive Officer, reviews and manages the business. The CODM uses net income (loss) to measure segment operating performance. All of the Company’s expenses are reviewed regularly and are included in segment operating performance. These reportable segments include loans, securities, and real estate. The loans segment includes all of the Company’s activities related to mortgage loan receivables held for investment (balance sheet loans) and mortgage loan receivables held for sale (conduit loans). The securities segment includes all of the Company’s activities related to securities, which include investments in CMBS, U.S. Agency securities, corporate bonds, equity securities and U.S. Treasury securities not classified as cash and cash equivalents. The real estate segment includes all of the Company’s activities related to net leased properties, other diversified real estate and investments in unconsolidated ventures. Corporate/other includes cash and cash equivalents, senior unsecured notes, compensation and employee benefits, operating expenses, and unallocated items including any inter-segment eliminations necessary to reconcile to consolidated Company totals.The Company evaluates performance based on the following financial measures for each segment ($ in thousands):
