(b) Includes amortization of the $5.0 million loan modification fee paid by the borrower in November 2018.

Delray Plaza

On March 3, 2020, the Delray Plaza loan was modified to increase the maximum amount of the loan to $17.0 million, with $2.0 million of additional funds borrowed at an interest rate of 6% in order to fund final development activities. The borrower pledged 125,832 Class A Units as additional collateral for this loan.

Interlock Commercial

In May 2020, the Company modified the Interlock Commercial loan to allow for an additional $8.0 million of loan funding; this additional loan funding may be available for cost overruns as well as the building of townhome units as an additional phase of this development project. The borrower also modified the senior construction loan on the project. As part of this modification, the Company agreed to increase its payment guaranty for this senior loan to $34.3 million.

Nexton Square

On September 22, 2020, as part of the Nexton Square acquisition, the developer of this property repaid the Company's mezzanine note receivable of $16.4 million.

Current Expected Credit Losses

The Company is exposed to credit losses primarily through its mezzanine lending activities. As of September 30, 2020, the Company had four mezzanine loans, all of which are secured by second liens on development projects in various stages of completion or lease-up. Each of these projects is subject to a loan that is senior to the Company’s mezzanine loan. Interest on these loans is paid in kind and is generally not expected to be paid until a sale of the project after completion of the development.

The Company's management performs a quarterly analysis of the loan portfolio to determine the risk of credit loss based on the progress of development activities including leasing activities, projected development costs, and current and projected mezzanine and senior construction loan balances. The Company estimates future losses on its notes receivable using risk ratings that correspond to probabilities of default and loss given default. The Company's risk ratings are as follows:

Pass: loans in this category are adequately collateralized by a development project with conditions materially consistent with the Company's underwriting assumptions.
Special Mention: loans in this category show signs that the economic performance of the project may suffer as a result of slower-than-expected leasing activity or an extended development or marketing timeline. Loans in this category warrant increased monitoring by management.
Substandard: loans in this category may not be fully collected by the Company unless remediation actions are taken. Remediation actions may include obtaining additional collateral or assisting the borrower with asset management activities to prepare the project for sale. The Company will also consider placing the loan on nonaccrual status if it does not believe that additional interest accruals will ultimately be collected.

On a quarterly basis, the Company compares the risk inherent in its loans to industry loan loss data experienced during past business cycles. The Company updated the risk ratings for each of its notes receivable during the three months ended September 30, 2020. The Company obtained industry loan loss data relative to these risk ratings as of June 30, 2020.

The following table presents amortized cost basis of the portfolio by year of origination and risk rating as of September 30, 2020 (in thousands):

The Company places loans on nonaccrual status when the loan balance, together with the balance of any senior loan, approximately equals the estimated realizable value of the underlying development project. As of December 31, 2019, there were no loans on nonaccrual status. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company placed the loans for Delray Plaza and The Residences at Annapolis Junction on nonaccrual status with total amortized cost basis of $57.1 million. As a result, there was $4.2 million of interest income not recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.
