Direct Financing Leases

As of June 30, 2020, the Company held one property under a direct financing lease, which was held in use. As of June 30, 2020, this property had $3.8 million in scheduled minimum future payments to be received under the remaining non-cancellable terms of its lease. The Company evaluated the collectability of the amounts receivable under the direct financing lease, and recorded a reserve for uncollectible amounts totaling $0.3 million against the net investment balance of $7.6 million as of June 30, 2020, primarily as a result of the borrower’s credit rating being non-investment grade and the initial term extending until 2027.     

Loans Receivable

As of June 30, 2020, the Company held two first-priority mortgage loans. The mortgage loans are secured by single-tenant commercial properties and have fixed interest rates over the term of the loans. As of June 30, 2020, these loans had an outstanding principal balance of $29.1 million and an unamortized premium balance of $0.2 million. The Company evaluated the collectability of the amounts receivable under the loans receivable and recorded an allowance for loan losses of $0.3 million on January 1, 2020, primarily driven by the borrowers’ having investment grade credit ratings and maturities in 2020. The Company reversed $0.2 million of the reserve in the second quarter of 2020 due to the shorter time to maturity and no change in the borrower’s credit ratings. As of June 30, 2020, there was a remaining allowance of $0.1 million against the carrying value of $29.3 million.
