 earnings of equity method investments. In general, the Joint Ventures apply the same revenue recognition and other accounting policies as the Company.Through its Specialty Lending segment, the Company provides specialty financing solutions to investors in charged-off and nonperforming asset portfolios. The Company recognizes revenue generated by lending activity in accordance with ASC 310. Fees collected in relation to the issuance of loans includes loan origination fees, interest income, portfolio monitoring fees, and a backend profit share percentage related to the underlying asset portfolio.  The monitoring fees and the backend profit share are considered a separate earnings process as compared to the origination fees and interest income.

The recognition policy was established due to the uncertainty of timing of the amount of backend profit share which will be realized.

The interest method is used to arrive at a periodic interest cost (including amortization) that will represent a level effective rate on the sum of the face amount of the debt and (plus or minus) the unamortized premium or discount and expense at the beginning of each period.
