The Company currently owns $529,000 First Mortgage Bonds and $497,000 Second Mortgage Bonds issued by Agape Assembly Baptist Church located in Orlando, Florida. The total principal amount of First Mortgage Bonds issued by Agape is $7,200,000, and the total principal amount of Second Mortgage Bonds issued is $715,000. Agape defaulted on its payment obligations to bondholders in September 2010. The church subsequently commenced a Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization proceeding regarding the property that secures the First Mortgage Bonds in December 2010. In October 2014, the bondholders of Agape agreed to a modification in the terms of their bonds which resulted in the temporary resumption of both principal and interest payments to both the first and second mortgage bond holders. Both the First Mortgage Bonds and Second Mortgage Bonds were modified to a fully amortized fixed rate, quarterly interest payment of 6.25% with a new maturity date of September 2037 for all the issued and outstanding bonds. The Company, along with all other bondholders, has a superior lien over all other creditors. The Church subsequently defaulted on their modification agreement in 2016 and no interest payments were made to bondholders during the period ended March 31, 2020. However, the trustee made a distribution to bondholders during 2017 of $18.54 per $1,000 bond as a repayment of principal only, effectively reducing the outstanding balance of each $1,000 bond to approximately $826.

The trustee again initiated foreclosure action against the Church and prevailed in its pursuit to foreclose on the Church’s property on November 1, 2019. However, on the eve of the foreclosure sale, the Church again filed for bankruptcy protection. The trustee is monitoring the bankruptcy proceedings and will keep the bondholder informed when a material event transpires.

The Company has an aggregate other than temporary impairment of $658,000 for the First and Second Mortgage Bonds at both March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, which effectively reduces the bonds to the fair value amount management believes will be recovered.

The Company did not restructure any loans during the periods ended March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. A summary of loans re-structured or modified for the periods ended March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 are shown below. All of the loans, except one, shown are currently performing under the terms of the modifications for their mortgage obligations. The one loan that is not performing under the modification agreement is a second mortgage loan with a current unpaid principal balance of approximately $45,000. This loan has been declared to be in default. One restructured loan paid-off in 2019.
