This Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is intended to provide a reader of our financial statements with a narrative from the perspective of our management on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, and certain other factors that may affect our future results. The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes thereto included in "Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data." In addition to historical financial information, the following discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. See "Forward-Looking Statements." Our results and the timing of selected events may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors.
We qualify as an "emerging growth company" under the JOBS Act. As a result, we are permitted to, and intend to, rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements. For so long as we are an emerging growth company, we will not be required to:
? have an auditor report on our internal controls over financial reporting
pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act;
? comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the
Accounting Oversight Board regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a
supplement to the auditor's report providing additional information about the
audit and the financial statements (i.e., an auditor discussion and analysis);
? submit certain executive compensation matters to shareholder advisory votes,
such as "say-on-pay" and "say-on-frequency;" and
? disclose certain executive compensation related items such as the correlation
between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the CEO's
compensation to median employee compensation.
In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period. Our financial statements may therefore not be comparable to those of companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards.
We will remain an "emerging growth company" for up to five years, or until the
earliest of (a) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our total annual
gross revenues exceed
Overview
We intend to provide capital directly to borrowers seeking financing for commercial real estate properties either for refinancing or acquisitions. These loans will encompass originating performing commercial first mortgage loans, subordinate financings, and other commercial real estate-related debt. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we intend to operate our business so that we do not become subject to the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Accordingly, we do not plan to primarily engage in the business of investing, reinvesting or trading in securities and we do not plan to acquire investment securities (such as commercial mortgage-backed securities) having a value exceeding 40% of the value of the Company's total assets.
We expect to offer financing across a broad-spectrum of asset backed and commercial real asset type collateral of any property type such as office, retail, industrial, multi-family, and hospitality. The Company will coordinate its lending initiatives with outside commercial real estate loan brokers, which have access to commercial real estate owners seeking financing or refinancing opportunities, and with loan origination firms that have borrowers seeking loans. We believe that this will enable ALPC to broaden its access to new borrowers and to develop and implement financing solutions for these other lenders, mortgage bankers, borrowers, and owners. In the event the Company uses third party loan origination services and underwriters, the Company will cover these costs in accordance with industry standard practices.

The Company expects to require substantial capital to fully fund and implement its operations. The Company plans to raise such capital through presently contemplated public offering, from alternative offerings of debt or other securities or through joint venture partnerships. There can be no assurance that the Company can successfully raise such capital or consummate alternative offerings of its debt or other securities or joint venture partnerships on favorable terms or otherwise. If such efforts are not successful, then we may be unable to honor funding commitments or be forced to curtail our operations or consider other strategic alternatives.
Investment Strategy
To identify attractive lending opportunities, the Company expects to continue to deploy its capital through the origination of commercial mortgage loans, subordinate financings and other commercial real-estate related debt investments at attractive risk-adjusted yields. The Company targets lending opportunities that are secured by commercial real estate. The Company's underwriting includes a focus on stressed in-place cash flows, debt yields, debt service coverage ratios, loan-to-value ratios, property quality and market and sub-market dynamics.

On
Potential Effects of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) Outbreak
The adverse public health developments and economic effects of the COVID -19 outbreak could adversely affect the Company's customers and business partners as a result of quarantines, facility closures and logistics restrictions imposed in connection with the outbreak. More broadly, the outbreak could potentially lead to an extended economic downturn, which would likely decrease spending, adversely affect demand for our services and harm our business, results of operations and financial condition. We cannot accurately predict the effect the COVID-19 outbreak will have on the Company.

Loans Receivable, net and Allowance for Losses
The Company records its investments in loans receivable at cost less unamortized costs of issuance and deferred origination fees. Origination fees collected at the time of investment are recorded against the loans receivable and amortized into net interest income over the lives of the related loans. Issuance costs incurred are capitalized along with the initial investment and amortized against net interest income over the lives of the related loans.

When a loan receivable is placed on non-accrual status, the related interest receivable is reversed against interest income of the current period. If a non-accrual loan is returned to accrual status, the accrued interest existing at the date the residential loan is placed on non-accrual status and interest during the non-accrual period are recorded as interest income as of the date the loan no longer meets the non-accrual criteria.
The Company maintains an allowance for loan losses on its investments in real estate loans receivable for estimated credit impairment. Management's estimate of losses is based on a number of factors including the types and dollar amounts of loans in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower's ability to repay, prevailing economic conditions and the underlying collateral securing the loan. Additions to the allowance are provided through a charge to earnings and are based on an assessment of certain factors, which may indicate estimated losses on the loans. Actual losses on loans are recorded first as a reduction to the allowance for loan losses. Generally, subsequent recoveries of amounts previously charged off are recognized as income.
Estimating allowances for loan losses requires significant judgment about the underlying collateral, including liquidation value, condition of the collateral, competency and cooperation of the related borrower and specific legal issues that affect loan collections or taking possession of the property on an individual loan receivable basis.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
There are no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.
