We did not have any impaired loans, non-accrual loans, or loans in maturity default other than the loan discussed below as of June 30, 2022 or December 31, 2021.

During the period ended June 30, 2022, management identified one loan, collateralized by an office building, with an unpaid principal value of $11.7 million as impaired, reflecting a decline in collateral value attributable to (i) recent and near term vacancies at the property; (ii) new information available during three months ended June 30, 2022 regarding the addition of office space supply that will increase the submarket vacancy rate in the local market and (iii) declining market conditions. As of June 30, 2022, this loan was not yet in default, but the borrower may not be able to repay or refinance the loan at maturity. Based on this review, a reserve of $0.4 million was recorded for this impaired loan in the three months ended June 30, 2022. Additionally, this loan was placed on non-accrual as result of the impaired loan classification, however, the borrower continues to remain current on debt service payments.
