Okay.

given achieve the confidence the So with a you bold maybe you the moving then to uncertainty. if and and target your low the to intact, just you kept you could if is I'm little a get move -- your to which some of kept bit guidance the maybe talk of end visibility the have that us you'd about your you help ability parts there? curious

So do. what we we we we're was ran did what did -- to supposed

securitize the a ways different we if So whether if numbers we don't, we loans, situation looked ran we certain we growth and of at get then in the areas. bunch

at like very our $X.XX. loans the impact comfortable the expense with a with that things and growth. course in new we Of for payment fees it interest outlook level ran we low protection come and would rates of the became And

So reasonable with is a we enough ran the it to different scenarios that $X.XX target think to in bank. continue times

not a different one with kept ways it different things down and and in whole range. we it's coming So on that our on being thing, assumptions based we up ran bunch of

is just a we say investors to little hands in have we there. what's what it easy say to out really throw guidance have is So know and guess. think don't guess we put we bold that going if happen. going responsibility But your I it's decided to to happen think I a we we up to

all the we've why why and that's We credit don't financial we but there that to occur shock know CECL. that's about reserves the have services might implemented to seems be, industry,

that's So a we there obviously reason. that can't either, second for guess

say that reserve is event So say matter doesn't CECL the there be we'll might up it our can't true. screw well and because in some all just that's heads we our and seems that, always future, oh,

$X.XX one, through $X.XX the we $X.XX. seg would say I be we scenarios different the over website not deterministic possible The out in guidance guidance us in our real will of we outcomes, best we were around and more model over gave like our could $X.XX growth. and comes doing -- became the give did to our with of the to targets the with product presentation, try it each on we again comfortable looking where With So which different all updated businesses. that's for how at we

growth portfolio approach. you Okay. on balance -- a hope. Is an that hard say the expectations there That's very interesting in that should It's loan hit sheet in the interesting. growth would've I -- Thanks. Maybe

some, original but Yes, this from for There are were of $X.XX. target are some, the down them yes. Yes. we've ratcheted where -- for there they

in they're but as they Damian there, add are And lower. So would --

while I things the portfolio No. And very seeing Okay. good like it was we're block where and block S growth. still

So people are looking liquidity. at they need securities their and

certain So of very we're having areas the pipeline business. in good

So nobody we've much we our now deferral, those look going refinancing ratcheted -- we not that months zero just modeling And so it's to as prepayment. no, to lot forecasts. a easy spread and six be than so is have it's to business that when a some were say of you've easy we to you're because it's where got we've think down think growth, right this lower leasing expect don't down things going took to

what So hard would you've you look product a at at pipeline stability, it asset and and be. a take reasonable each got how look probably the and rate of growth see renewed so lot is the line really

Okay.

Did got And prepared some apologize commentary late. like on bit so remarks little it the maybe it expense and you -- expectation? give I said I around in you sounds a your

the level enough situation it this the quarter. right we're then and kind -- a stay to we're the its Well, And improve. have depend are well, would growth. the like at going -- to lot so once quarter expect improves, least second up so opens first level, growth in Right looks of until business, seems Yeah. on expense for at again the revenue the will where the so we we now until world million similar. in revenue of revenue XX% we're now stay the to or going the -- that maintain business. tied at or between this That's $XX.X it expenses And around how right

Yes.

of we clear was loans end we tail to changed a sold. -- it transactions the was the And weren't there terms. that So going weren't once be were dramatically we --

to going reserve So I not one-year we're in loan transactions there think $XX but prior them. they now LTV committed was million, $XX they're down million the about about have substantially and of to lower that a they're different, through, to we sales

pretty we're deals just to have which difficult I attractive so debt up you're year And of So Many want finishing a now to, proportion put -- capital. these, interest if love loans they to are principal have reserve lot much going do. right few that's too over wouldn't principal we but would But go has -- just that. left We CRE from to with a $X obviously it, could loans do and previous XXX% those wouldn't -- extremely are from have they're to a and billion $X of and put now to our reserve terms, if we I billion new of out extremely then do very on to just a dropped restrictive, commitments. died.

market put on if to or have that and to And the point closed you you're Okay. opened as what make seasoned portfolio? the the up. that the you'll reserve if said CECL old you remains those? market to back in of become would and decision And then and move too these it's where you'd to going for market revisit into if so be XX days so, to the there loans them see -- sell review have a today Is just held investment the

securitize, to first -- the yes. Well, and

there probably go if -- nine the months market loans is those to you're those to going loans. securitize loans they six, though you're for the still So if going past not securitize a

institutional investor that company like it exposure. doesn't that an to kind that wants an can't mean So you of insurance sell

-- securitized, yes, no. loan loan the sale, the So the

loans last someone the Of course selling were we else to securitize in transaction. for the

preclude case, But sale. who that would to in also loans. that want other buy So loan investors that would there are

The what the sorry. second part? and -- was I'm

Yes. answer loss the loan on implication. the second part. I can this. reserve It I can answer was

-- Oh, anyway. okay. Yes. that's That something seems you

Yes.

regardless and can't So And where hold switch at you bear net you you accounting those actually value that. in that would of retain fees the we mind own of $XX. fair loans

So I loss issue think comprised don't -- be we experience have have for that don't majority -- it's an would those and loans we portfolio. for significant the the which the vast the of multi-family families

don't to I going that's believe be an So issue.

that So this you million -- the more be loss think don't with would think cover, $X booked you prudent. quarter, basically cover that' you

basing than so we small bit other, if I'm we there's other and disclosed use a the have don't a cumulative -- virtual firm COVID the which in aside will tables, that have losses. according tail it less of majority what the $XX retail in with we a predict small million to the Multi-family No, is off from as -- is little and even analytics X% vast of multi-family.

it doesn't there. an there's that be issue So to going appear

the question -- you this million million on deposit, Nut us last have the Okay. it based how works? The accounting that said can book And how portfolio. you tell then on $XX.X you $XX.X standards? I
