(a)Includes $26,205 and $12,960 of variable rate mortgage debt that was swapped to a fixed rate at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

As of June 30, 2020, we had 122 mortgage loans with effective interest rates ranging from 2.43% to 6.85% per annum and a weighted average effective interest rate of 4.18% per annum.

As of December 31, 2019, we had 121 mortgage loans with effective interest rates ranging from 3.15% to 7.25% per annum, and a weighted average effective interest rate of 4.31% per annum.

The majority of the Trust’s mortgages payable require monthly payments of principal and interest. Certain mortgages require reserves for real estate taxes and certain other costs.  Mortgages are secured by the respective properties, assignment of rents, business assets, deeds to secure debt, deeds of trust and/or cash deposits.

Certain mortgage note agreements include covenants that, in part, impose maintenance of certain debt service coverage and debt to net worth ratios.  We are not required to determine compliance with our covenants as of June 30, 2020; however, we have not received any notice of non-compliance with our covenants through the date of this filing. As of December 31, 2019, ten loans on residential properties were out of compliance with annual loan covenants due to various unit renovation and parking lot repair and maintenance costs, bad debts and increased vacancies in the North Dakota markets.  The loans were secured by properties located in Bismarck, Fargo and Grand Forks, North Dakota with a total outstanding balance of $16,361 at December 31, 2019. Annual waivers were received from the lenders on $10,435 of the loans out of compliance. Annual waivers were not received from one lender on loans with a balance of $5,926. The Trust elected to pay the loans off in March 2020 with no penalty.

We are required to make the following principal payments on our outstanding mortgage notes payable for each of the five succeeding fiscal years and thereafter as follows:
