As a result of the dissolution, the investment in unconsolidated entity, which had a June 30, 2021 balance of $25.0 million, was reclassified as follows. Approximately $22.9 million of loans were reclassified to commercial loans, at fair value and $2.1 million was reclassified to other real estate owned, as those assets continue to be reported at fair value. Our non-SBA commercial real estate loans, at fair value, are primarily collateralized by multi-family properties (apartment buildings), and to a lesser extent, by hotel and retail properties. These loans were originally generated for sale through securitizations. In 2020, we decided to retain these loans on our balance sheet as interest earning assets and have again begun originating such loans, primarily to replace the impact of loan payoffs. These new originations are identified as real estate bridge loans and are held for investment in the loan portfolio. Prior originations originally intended for securitizations which were accounted for at fair value, continue to be accounted for at fair value, and are included in the balance sheet in “commercial loans, at fair value.”
