On May 24, 2010, we acquired the $69.0 million senior mortgage loan secured by the 443-room Allerton Hotel in Chicago, Illinois for approximately $60.6 million. The Allerton loan matured in January 2010 and is currently in default. The Allerton loan accrues at an interest rate of LIBOR plus 692 basis points, which includes 5 percentage points of default interest. As of June 17, 2011, the Allerton loan had a principal balance of $69.0 million and unrecorded accrued interest (including default interest) of approximately $3.4 million. Foreclosure proceedings were initially filed in April 2010 and on May 5, 2011, the borrower under the senior mortgage loan placed the hotel in bankruptcy. We will continue to pursue our rights in the bankruptcy proceedings, but the outcome is uncertain. We evaluate the potential impairment of the carrying value of the Allerton loan based on the underlying value of the hotel and as of June 17, 2011, there is no impairment.


Recognition of interest income on the Allerton loan is dependent upon having a reasonable expectation about the timing and amount of cash payments expected to be collected from the borrower. Due to the uncertainty surrounding the timing and amount of cash payments expected, we placed the Allerton loan on non-accrual status. As of June 17, 2011, we have received default interest payments from the borrower of approximately $3.3 million, of which $0.6 million was received during the period from January 1, 2011 to June 17, 2011. Subsequent to June 17, 2011, we received $0.5 million in default interest payments. These payments have been recorded as a reduction of our basis in the Allerton loan.
