8. INVESTMENT IN RESIDENTIAL REAL ESTATE PARTNERSHIP
 
In September 2014, the Company, through a wholly owned subsidiary (HMG Orlando LLC, a Delaware limited liability company), acquired a one-third equity membership interest in JY-TV Associates, LLC a Florida limited liability company (“JY-TV”) and entered into the Amended and Restated Operating Agreement of JY-TV (the “Agreement”). Also, as previously reported, on May 19, 2015, pursuant to the terms of a Construction Loan Agreement, between JY-TV Associates LLC (“JY-TV” or the “Borrower”, which is one-third owned by a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company) and Wells Fargo Bank ("Lender"), Lender loaned to the Borrower the principal sum of $27 million pursuant to a senior secured construction loan ("Loan"). The proceeds of the Loan were used to finance the previously reported construction of multi-family residential apartments containing 240 units totaling approximately 239,000 net rentable square feet on a 9.5-acre site located in Orlando, Florida ("Project"). Construction of the Project which commenced in June 2015, has been completed. A grand opening was held on October 15, 2016, and leasing activities are proceeding as expected. Approximately 78% of the Project has been leased to date. For the year ended December 31, 2016 JY-TV reported a net loss of approximately $849,000, which includes depreciation and amortization expense of $712,000 and interest expense of $289,000. The Company’s portion of that loss is approximately $283,000.
 
The Company and certain affiliates of the other two members of the Borrower ("Guarantors") entered into a Completion Guaranty Agreement ("Completion Guaranty") and a Repayment Guaranty Agreement ("Repayment Guaranty") (collectively, the “Guaranties”) with the Lender. Under the Completion Guaranty, Guarantors shall unconditionally guaranty, on a joint and several bases, lien free completion of all improvements with respect to the Project and any construction or completion obligations required to be made by the Borrower pursuant to any approved leases. Under the Repayment Guaranty, Guarantors shall provide an unconditional guaranty including the repayment of $11.5 million of the principal balance of the Loan, repayment of all accrued but unpaid interest and payment of any other sums payable under any of the Loan Agreement. Each Guarantor is required to maintain compliance at all times with certain financial covenants, as defined. As of December 31, 2016 the Company was in compliance with all debt covenants. The construction loan matures on May 19, 2018.
