  (M) On December 26, 2012, Damascus Centre, LLC refinanced its $15 million construction loan with long-term financing provided by People's United Bank. The amount of the new loan is $25 million, of which $20 million has been drawn as of October 31, 2014. The balance, up to an additional $5 million, will be available as a one-time draw over the 36 month period ending December 26, 2015, and the amount available will depend on future leasing at the shopping center. The new loan bears a floating interest rate equal to 210 basis points over the BBA LIBOR and the loan will mature on January 3, 2023. In order to minimize interest rate volatility during the term of the loan, Damascus Centre, LLC entered into an interest rate swap agreement that in effect, converted the floating interest rate to a fixed interest rate of 3.81% over the term of the loan (see Note 6 for additional information relating to the interest rate swap). The shopping center securing the loan has a net book value of approximately $29,644,000 as of October 31, 2014.
  (N) On February 1, 2010, a principal payment of $3 million was made reducing the original loan amount of $22.5 million to $19.5 million and the due date was extended until February 1, 2013. As part of the terms of the loan extension agreement, the loan was further collateralized by a first mortgage lien and the assignment of the ground lease on FREIT's Rochelle Park, NJ land parcel. Under the restructured terms, the interest rate is now 350 basis points above the BBA LIBOR with a floor of 4%, and monthly principal payments of $10,000 are required. An additional principal payment of $110,000 was required on February 1, 2012 in order to reduce the loan to achieve the stipulated debt service coverage ratio. Under the agreement with the equity owners of Grande Rotunda, LLC, FREIT would be responsible for 60% of any cash required by Grande Rotunda, LLC, and 40% would be the responsibility of the minority interest. The due date of the loan was further extended to May 1, 2013 from February 1, 2013. While the bank agreed to an additional extension of ninety-days (90) from May 1, 2013, FREIT elected to purchase the Rotunda loan from the bank and have all the bank's rights assigned to FREIT. The purchase of this loan by FREIT was completed on May 28, 2013. FREIT subsequently sold this loan to Wells Fargo Bank, the lender providing the construction financing for the expansion of the Rotunda project. On December 9, 2013, Grande Rotunda, LLC closed with Wells Fargo Bank on a construction loan of up to $120 million to be used for the purpose of funding the major redevelopment and expansion project in progress at the Rotunda. The construction loan is for a term of four (4) years, with one 12-month extension, at a rate of 225 basis points over the monthly LIBOR. Interest on the loan is accrued and applied to principal. Such interest will be due and payable at maturity. The loan is secured by the Rotunda property in Baltimore, MD, which has a net book value of approximately $79,268,000 as of October 31, 2014, including $48.8 million classified as construction in progress. As of October 31, 2014, $42.7 million was drawn on the construction loan with Wells Fargo Bank, of which $19 million was used to pay off the loan from FREIT, and $23.7 million was used towards the construction at the Rotunda.
  (O) Credit Line: FREIT has a line of credit provided by the Provident Bank in the amount of $13 million. The line of credit is for a two year term ending on November 1, 2016, but can be cancelled by the bank, at its will, within 60 days before or after each anniversary date. The credit line will automatically be extended at the termination date of the current term and each subsequent term for an additional period of 24 months, provided there is no default and the credit line has not been cancelled. Draws against the credit line can be used for general corporate purposes, for property acquisitions, construction activities, and letters of credit. Draws against the credit line are secured by mortgages on FREIT's Franklin Crossing Shopping Center, in Franklin Lakes, NJ, and retail space in Glen Rock, NJ. Interest rates on draws will be set at the time of each draw for 30, 60, or 90-day periods, based on our choice of the prime rate or at 175 basis points over the 30, 60, or 90-day LIBOR rates at the time of the draws. The interest rate on the line of credit has a floor of 3.5%. The Palisades Manor and the Grandview Apartment properties had been part of the collateral for the line of credit prior to FREIT's sales of these properties in April 2013 and August 2013, respectively. Provident Bank released these properties as collateral for the credit line in connection with these dispositions, and as a result, the credit line was reduced from $18 million to approximately $13 million as of July 2013. As of October 31, 2014, approximately $8 million was available under the line of credit, and $5 million was outstanding.
