Commercial Loans | 4. Commercial Loans Loans Receivable The Company offers short-term secured non–banking loans to real estate investors (also known as hard money) to fund their acquisition and construction of properties located in the New York metropolitan area, including New Jersey and Connecticut, and in Florida. The loans are principally secured by collateral consisting of real estate and accompanied by personal guarantees from the principals of the borrowers. The loans are generally for a term of one year. The short-term loans are initially recorded, and carried thereafter, in the financial statements at cost. Most of the loans provide for receipt of interest only during the term of the loan and a balloon payment at the end of the term. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the total amounts of $41,965,844 and $56,301,376, respectively, have been lent, offset by collections received from borrowers, under the commercial loans in the amount of $49,089,982 and $57,736,436, respectively. The face amounts of the loans the Company originated in the past seven years have ranged from a minimum of $40,000 to a maximum of $3,600,000. The Company’s board of directors established a policy limiting the maximum amount of any loan to the lower of (i) 9.9% of the aggregate amount of the Company’s loan portfolio (not including the loan under consideration) and (ii) $4 million. The Company’s loans typically have a maximum initial term of 12 months and bear interest at a fixed rate of 9% to 13% per year. In addition, the Company usually receives origination fees, or “points,” ranging from 0% to 2% of the original principal amount of the loan as well as other fees relating to underwriting, funding and managing the loan. Interest is always payable monthly, in arrears. In the case of acquisition financing, the principal amount of the loan usually does not exceed 75% of the value of the property (as determined by an independent appraiser), and in the case of construction financing, up to 80% of construction costs. At December 31, 2024, the Company was committed to $7,203,418 in construction loans that can be drawn by the borrowers when certain conditions are met. At December 31, 2023, no one entity has loans outstanding representing more than 10% of the total balance of the loans outstanding. At December 31, 2024, the Company has made loans to four different entities in the aggregate amount of $7,225,000 or 11.0% of its loan portfolio. One individual holds at least a fifty percent interest in each of the different entities. This individual is not affiliated with any officers or directors of the Company. The Company generally grants loans for a term of one year. When a performing loan reaches its maturity and the borrower requests an extension, the Company may extend the term of the loan beyond one year. Prior to granting an extension of any loan, the Company reevaluates the underlying collateral.

At December 31, 2024, the Company’s loans receivable consisted of loans in the amount of $18,756, $1,520,250, $120,000, $3,725,000, $13,738,817 and $17,155,000, originally due or committed to lend to borrowers in 2016, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024, respectively. At December 31, 2023, the Company’s loans receivable consisted of loans in the amount of $33,343, $760,433, $2,210,250, $1,854,000, $7,225,000 and $20,480,886, originally due or committed to lend to borrowers in 2016, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023, respectively. Generally, borrowers are paying their interest, and the Company receives a fee in connection with the extension of the loans. In all instances, except as described below, the borrowers have either signed an extension agreement or are in the process of signing an extension. Accordingly, at December 31, 2024, no loan impairments exist and there are no provisions for impairment credit losses of loans or recoveries thereof. During February 2023, the Company sold one of its loans receivable at its face value of $485,000. Mr. Assaf Ran, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, participated in such acquisition in the amount of $152,000. In addition, in June 2023, the Company filed a foreclosure lawsuit relating to one property, as a result of a deed transfer from a borrower to a buyer without the Company’s consent. In that instance, the buyer of the property on which the Company had a valid mortgage suffered a data breach which resulted in the failure of the buyer to remit the funds needed for the loan payoff. In October 2023, the Company received the entire payoff amount for the loan receivable, including all unpaid fees, to rectify the situation. Subsequent to the balance sheet date, approximately $11,670,000 of the loans receivable at December 31, 2024 were paid down or paid off, including approximately $6,328,000 originally due on or before December 31, 2024.
