As of December 31, 2022, 20 of the partnership’s 21 loans (representing 96 % of the aggregate principal of the partnership’s loan portfolio) have a term of five years or less. The remaining loan has a term longer than five years. Substantially all loans are written without a prepayment penalty provision. As of December 31, 2022, 13 of the loans outstanding (representing 69 % of the aggregate principal balance of the partnership’s loan portfolio) provide for monthly payments of interest only, with the principal due in full at maturity. The remaining loans require monthly payments of principal and interest, typically calculated on a 30 -year amortization, with the remaining principal balance due at maturity.

Interest for December 2022 is due January 1 , 2023 and is not included in the payments in arrears at December 31, 2022 . At December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were no forbearance agreements in effect. Secured loans in non-accrual status are summarized in the following table ($ in thousands).

Interest income of $ 167 thousand and $ 107 thousand was recognized for loans in non-accrual status in 2022 and 2021, respectively. The amortized cost basis of loans in non-accrual status with no specific allowance at December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 is equivalent to the entire balance of loans in non-accrual status since there is no specific allowance recorded for any loan. Non-performing loans are placed on non-accrual status the first of the following month after it is 180 days delinquent or earlier if management determines that the primary source of repayment will come from the foreclosure and subsequent sale of the collateral securing the loan (which usually occurs when a notice of sale is filed) or when the loan is no longer considered well-secured. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, the accrual of interest is discontinued for accounting purposes only (i.e., foregone interest in the table above), however, previously recorded interest is not reversed. Once the payments are made current, interest income is recognized. At December 31, 2022, 2 loans with aggregate principal of approximately $ 2 million were 90 days or more past due and were not in non-accrual status. At December 31, 2021 , there were no loans 90 or more days past due and not in non-accrual status. Provision/allowance for loan losses and impaired loans Generally, the partnership has not recorded an allowance for loan losses as all loans have protective equity such that collection is deemed probable for all recorded amounts due on the loan. From time to time, the manager may deem it in the best interest of the partnership to agree to concessions to borrowers to facilitate a sale of collateral or refinance transactions primarily for secured loans in second lien position.
