The Company offers secured, non-banking loans to real estate owners and investors (also known as “hard money” loans) to fund their acquisition, renovation, development, rehabilitation or improvement of properties located primarily in Connecticut. The loans are secured by first mortgage liens on one or more properties owned by the borrower or related parties. In addition, each loan is personally guaranteed by the borrower or its principals, which guarantees may be collaterally secured as well. The loans are generally for a term of one to three years. The loans are initially recorded and carried thereafter, in the financial statements, at cost. Most of the loans provide for monthly payments of interest only (in arrears) during the term of the loan and a “balloon” payment of the principal on the maturity date.

For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the aggregate amounts of loans funded by the Company were $117,230,923 and $64,742,552, respectively, offset by principal repayments of $54,961,570 and $43,347,362, respectively.

As of December 31, 2020, the Company’s mortgage loan portfolio includes loans ranging in size from $2,600 to $10,780,000 with stated interest rates ranging from 5.0% to 13.0% and a default interest rate for non-payment of 18%.

At December 31, 2020 and 2019, no single borrower had loans outstanding representing more than 10% of the total balance of the loans outstanding.

The Company will agree to extend the term of a loan if, at the time of the extension, the loan and the borrower meets all the Company’s underwriting requirements. The Company treats a loan extension as a new loan.
