Interest Reserve from Commercial Loan Investments. In conjunction with certain of the Company’s commercial loan investments, the borrower has deposited interest and real estate tax reserves in escrow accounts held by the Company. The corresponding liability is recorded in deferred revenue on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as the interest reserves are utilized to fund the monthly interest due on the loans. As of June 30, 2020, the escrow balance, related to four of the Company’s commercial loan investments, had been released in connection with the sale transactions completed during the second quarter of 2020, see Note 4, “Commercial Loan Investments”, for further disclosure.  

Tenant Contributions. In connection with the acquisition of the property in Aspen, Colorado, the master tenant contributed $1.5 million of the $28.0 million purchase price at closing on February 21, 2018. Additionally, the master tenant funded, from its leasing reserve escrow, approximately $935,000 of the Company’s acquisition-related costs. The tenant contributions are being recognized ratably over the remaining term of the lease into income property rental revenue. Approximately $284,000 was recognized into income property rental revenue through June 30, 2020, leaving an aggregate balance of approximately $2.2 million, related to the Company’s total acquisition cost of approximately $29.0 million, to be recognized over the remaining term of the lease.

In connection with the construction of the Company’s beachfront restaurant formerly leased to Cocina 214 in Daytona Beach, Florida, pursuant to the lease agreement, the tenant contributed approximately $1.9 million towards the completion of the building and tenant improvements through direct payments to various third-party construction vendors. The tenant contribution is being recognized ratably over the remaining term of the lease into income property rental revenue. As a result of the lease termination agreement, entered into on July 16, 2019 by the Company and Cocina 214, the balance of the tenant contribution liability was reduced by $1.0 million, leaving a balance of approximately $690,000 to be recognized into income property rental revenue ratably over the remaining term of the original Cocina 214 lease. Approximately $238,000 was recognized into income property rental revenue through June 30, 2020, leaving a balance of approximately $651,000 to be recognized over the remaining term of the lease.
