The ASU changes the methodology for measuring credit losses on financial instruments and timing of when such losses are recorded. The amendments in ASU No. 2016-13 require the Company to measure all expected credit losses based upon historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectibility of financial assets and eliminates the incurred losses methodology under current U.S. GAAP. In addition, in November 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-19, </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, which also amends ASC Topic 326, </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Financial Instruments - Credit Losses. </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The ASU states that operating lease receivables are not in the scope of Subtopic 326-20. In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-04, </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses. </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The ASU changes how a company considers expected recoveries and contractual extensions or renewal options when estimating expected credit losses. </span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The Company adopted the standard on the effective date, January 1, 2020, and used the effective date as the date of initial application. Accordingly, prior period financial information will not be updated, and disclosures required under the new standard will not be provided for dates and periods before January 1, 2020. </span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The Company has reviewed its financial instruments and determined the expected loss model will apply to mortgage notes receivable, notes receivable and unfunded mortgage commitments. The Company is finalizing its transition adjustment and currently expects the adoption of the standard will result in a provision for loan losses ranging from </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><span>$2.0 million</span></span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> to </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><span>$2.5 million</span></span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, to be recorded through retained earnings as of the date of adoption. Prior to adoption of the standard, the Company did not have any loan loss reserves in its consolidated financial statements. </span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div>The Company will continue its implementation work in 2020 including enhancements to the Company's internal control framework, accounting systems and related documentation surrounding its credit loss process and the preparation of any additional disclosures that will be required.
