Commitments and Contingencies |
Commitments and Contingencies | 11. Commitments and Contingencies Origination Fees Loan origination fees range from 2%-5% of the original loan principal and, generally, are payable at the time the loan is funded. These payments are amortized for financial statement purposes over the life of the loan and will be recorded as income as follows: Original maturities of deferred revenue are as follows as of: ​
​ | ​ | ​ | ​
Year ending December 31, |  | ​ | ​
2021 | ​ | $ | 1,679,813
2022 | ​ | ​ | 394,925
2023 | ​ |  | 24,593
Total | ​ | $ | 2,099,331
​ In instances in which mortgages are repaid before their maturity date, the balance of any unamortized deferred revenue is generally recognized in full at the time of repayment. If the borrower is entitled to a partial refund of the origination fee collected in connection with a prepaid loan, the Company credits the refundable portion against the balance due on the loan. For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, approximately $55,639 and $40,070 of origination fees were refunded in connection with prepaid loans. Employment Agreements In February 2017, the Company entered into an employment agreement with John Villano, the material terms of which are as follows: (i) the employment term is five years commencing February 9, 2017, with extensions for successive one-year periods unless either party provides written notice at least 180 days prior to the next anniversary date of its intention to not renew the agreement; (ii) a base salary of $260,000, which was increased in April 2018 to $360,000; (iii) incentive compensation in such amount as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors; (iv) participation in the Company’s employee benefit plans; (v) full indemnification to the extent permitted by law; (v) a two-year non-competition period following the termination of employment without cause; and (vi) payments upon termination of employment or a change in control. In July 2020, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Peter Cuozzo, the material terms of which are as follows: (i) the agreement can be terminated by either party at any time upon delivery of written notice to the other party; (ii) a base salary of  $250,000 per year; (iii) incentive compensation in such amount as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of Directors; (iv) participation in the Company's employee benefit plans; (v) full indemnification to the extent permitted by law; (v) subject to a covenant not to compete that continues for 18 months after termination unless he is terminated without "cause" prior to July 1, 2022; and (vi) severance pay equal to 18 months of his base compensation if he is terminated without cause, or if he terminates for good reason, prior to July 1, 2022. Unfunded Commitments At December 31, 2020, the Company had future funding obligations totaling $19,601,731, which can be drawn by the borrowers when the conditions relating thereto have been satisfied. Other In the normal course of its business, the Company is named as a party-defendant because it is a mortgagee having interests in real properties that are being foreclosed upon, primarily resulting from unpaid property taxes. The Company actively monitors these actions and, in all cases, believes there remains sufficient value in the subject property to assure that no loan impairment exists. At December 31, 2020, there were five such properties, representing approximately $276,000 of mortgages receivable.
