 for sale and loans held for investment, which are measured at fair value requires management to make significant judgments about the valuation methodologies and inputs and assumptions used in the fair value calculation, including, but not limited to, historical credit losses, discounts for lack of marketability, underlying cash flows, and the impact of economic conditions.

On a quarterly basis, management determines the fair values of the retained unguaranteed portions of SBA 7(a) loans HFI, and unrealized changes in FV are recognized in the income statement. The loans within this portfolio were originated by NSBF. NSBF ceased originating new loans in April 2023 when all new SBA 7(a) loan originations were transitioned to Newtek Bank. (See Historical Business Regulation and Taxation, for a discussion of the wind-down of NSBF’s operations.)

The Company originated SBA 504 loans HFS prior to the Acquisition through its nonbank subsidiaries. SBA 504 loans HFS held at NALH are accounted for under the FV option. Additionally, the existing government guaranteed portion of SBA 7(a) loans held at NSBF and certain SBA 504 loans held at Newtek Bank are also HFS at FV.

The Company also originates ALP loans (formerly referred to as our nonconforming conventional loans), which are either HFS or HFI, via its nonbank subsidiary. ALP loans are carried at FV. ALP loans are held at NALH and TSO JV and are also accounted for under the FV option.

Allowance for Credit Losses

The allowance for credit losses consists of the allowance for credit losses and the reserve for unfunded commitments. As a result of the Company’s Acquisition the adoption of ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“CECL”) and its related amendments, we developed a methodology for estimating the reserve for credit losses. The standard replaced the “incurred loss” approach with an “expected loss” approach known as current expected credit loss. The CECL approach requires an estimate of the credit losses expected over the life of an exposure (or pool of exposures). It removes the incurred loss approach’s threshold that delayed the recognition of a credit loss until it was “probable” a loss event was “incurred.” The estimate of expected credit losses under the CECL approach is based on relevant information about past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts
