Participations Sold Participations Sold
Participations sold represents the subordinate interests in loans we originated and subsequently partially sold. We account for participations sold as secured borrowings on our consolidated balance sheet with both assets and non-recourse liabilities because the participations do not qualify as a sale under ASC 860 - "Transfers and Servicing." The income earned on the participations sold is recorded as interest income and an identical amount is recorded as interest expense on our consolidated statements of operations.
In October 2020, we sold a $25.0 million interest, at par, in a mezzanine loan collateralized by a ground-up condominium development in New York City that we originated in December 2017. The participation interest sold is subordinate to our remaining $85.7 million mezzanine loan and is accounted for as a secured borrowing on our consolidated balance sheet. The participation sold accrues payment-in-kind interest.
In December 2020, we sold a £6.7 million ($8.9 million assuming conversion into USD) interest, at par, in a first mortgage loan collateralized by an office building located in London, UK that was originated by us in December 2017. In connection with this sale, we transferred our remaining unfunded commitment of £19.1 million ($25.3 million assuming conversion into USD). The participation interest sold is subordinate to our remaining £70.3 million ($96.1 million assuming conversion into USD) first mortgage loan and is accounted for as a secured borrowing on our consolidated balance sheet.
