Loans Held for Investment | Loans Held for Investment We originate first mortgage loans secured by middle market and transitional commercial real estate, or CRE, which are generally to be held as long term investments. We funded our loan portfolio using cash on hand and advancements under our Secured Financing Facilities, as defined in Note 4. Additionally, we acquired the loan portfolio of Tremont Mortgage Trust, or TRMT, in the merger of TRMT with and into us on September 30, 2021, or the Merger. See Note 4 for further information regarding our secured financing agreements.

The carrying value of these loan investments is reflected in office and industrial based on the fair value of the buildings at the time of origination relative to the total fair value of the properties.

The higher the number, the greater the risk level. See our 2021 Annual Report for more information regarding our loan risk ratings. The following table allocates the carrying value of our loan portfolio at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 based on our internal risk rating policy: June 30, 2022 December 31, 2021 Risk Rating Number of Loans Carrying Value Number of Loans Carrying Value 1 — $ — — $ — 2 10 225,169 4 94,743 3 16 418,153 21 463,600 4 2 26,863 1 12,437 5 — — — — 28 $ 670,185 26 $ 570,780 The weighted average risk rating of our loans by carrying value was 2.7 and 2.9 as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted some of our borrowers’ business operations or tenants, particularly in the cases of certain of our office and retail collateral, some of which are the types of properties that have been most negatively impacted by the pandemic. We expect that those negative impacts may continue and may apply to other borrowers and/or their tenants. Further, although economic activity in the U.S. has improved significantly from the low points during the pandemic to date, certain industries have not recovered to their pre-pandemic positions, and current inflationary pressures and the possibility that the U.S. economy may now be in, or will soon enter into, a recession or downturn may amplify those, or introduce additional, negative impacts. Therefore, certain of our borrowers’ business plans will likely take longer to execute than initially expected and certain of our borrowers may be unable to pay their debt service obligations owed and due to us as currently scheduled or at all. As of June 30, 2022, we had two loans representing approximately 4% of the carrying value of our loan portfolio with a loan risk rating of “4” or “higher risk". We may enter into loan modifications that include among other changes, extensions of maturity dates, repurposing or required replenishment of reserves, increases or decreases in loan commitments and required pay downs of principal amounts outstanding. Modifications that represent concessions to a borrower that is experiencing financial difficulties are classified as troubled debt restructurings and considered impaired. In February 2022, we amended the agreement governing our loan secured by an office property located in Yardley, PA. As part of this amendment, the loan commitment was increased by $1,600, or the Additional Advance, and may be used to finance debt service costs and operating costs of the borrower and the initial maturity date was extended by one year to December 19, 2023. For purposes of calculating interest due to us for this loan, the Additional Advance is deemed to be outstanding as of the date of the amendment, regardless of whether such amounts have been advanced, at the London Interbank Offered Rate, or LIBOR, or a replacement base rate determined by us if LIBOR is no longer available, plus 12.0%. As of June 30, 2022, this loan had a risk rating of 4 and an outstanding principal balance of $14,972. The modification of this loan resulting from the amendment was determined not to be a troubled debt restructuring. However, we accounted for this modification as an extinguishment in accordance with ASC Topic 310, Receivables , because the changes to the terms were determined to be more than minor. As such, we recognized the related unaccreted purchase discount of $1,748 as interest income from investments in our condensed consolidated statements of income during the first quarter of 2022. There were no other material modifications to our loan portfolio during the six months ended June 30, 2022. |
