On December 7, 2017, the Board approved a further extension of the Index Page 14 previously amended maturity dates of these loans to the date or dates upon which distributions of cash are made by Grande Rotunda to its members as a result of a refinancing or sale of Grande Rotunda or the Rotunda property. The aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Rotunda 100 notes was $4,000,000 at both April 30, 2021 and October 31, 2020. The accrued but unpaid interest related to these notes as of April 30, 2021 and October 31, 2020 amounted to approximately $1,244,000 and $1,194,000, respectively, and is included in secured loans receivable on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. In Fiscal 2017, Grande Rotunda incurred substantial expenditures at the Rotunda property related to retail tenant improvements, leasing costs and operating expenditures which, in the aggregate, exceeded revenues as the property was still in the rent up phase and the construction loan held with Wells Fargo at that time was at its maximum level, with no additional funding available to draw. Accordingly, during Fiscal 2017 the equity owners in Grande Rotunda (FREIT with a 60% ownership and Rotunda 100 with a 40% ownership) contributed their respective pro-rata share of any cash needs through loans to Grande Rotunda, LLC. In the second quarter of Fiscal 2021, Grande Rotunda repaid $2 million to the equity owners in Grande Rotunda based on their respective pro-rata share resulting in a loan repayment to Rotunda 100 of approximately $0.8 million. As of April 30, 2021 and October 31, 2020, Rotunda 100 has funded Grande Rotunda with approximately $5.2 million and $5.9 million (including interest), respectively, which is included in “Due to affiliate” on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.
